Description

The D-Link AirPremier DWL-1700AP is a 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11b-compatible Wireless Access Point, designed for harsh outdoor environments. With a built-in firewall, the DWL-1700AP can also work as a NAT inbound virtual server and provides IP-based access control. Denial of Service (DoS) protection is also included to prevent the wireless network from being hacked.

D-Link, the industry pioneer in wireless networking, now offers economical wireless outdoor solutions. The D-Link AirPremier DWL-1700AP is a 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11b-compatible Wireless Access Point. The DWL-1700AP covers a large operating distance to provide a maximum wireless signal rate of up to 11Mbps* wireless LAN and broadband Internet access. The DWL-1700AP is ideal for Internet Service Providers, store merchants and other small business owners to create networks and provide outdoor users with wireless Internet access. It can also be used in many other outdoor networks such as manufacturing plants, industrial locations, military bases, universities, college and high school campuses, hotels, airports, golf courses and marinas.

The D-Link AirPremier DWL-1700AP is designed for harsh outdoor environments. With die-cast watertight housing and a built-in lightning protector, this is a robust outdoor AP. It includes cost-effective Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) for supplying power to the AP when a power outlet is not easily available and it includes the necessary hardware for mounting on a roof top or other exterior locations.

The DWL-1700AP is also versatile enough to be configured to perform as a wireless router.

The DWL-1700AP provides up to 128-bit WEP encryption and supports the IEEE 802.1x port-based network access control with RADIUS servers for user authentication. It has MAC address-based access control and many other features for stronger security. With a built-in firewall, the DWL-1700AP can also work as a NAT inbound virtual server and provides IP-based access control. Denial of Service (DoS) protection is also included to prevent the wireless network from being hacked.

The DWL-1700AP can be managed with its web-based user interface, Telnet, and RS-232 console configuration. SNMP (MIB I & MIB II) support makes DWL-1700AP a solid solution for enterprise wireless network managers.

^{* Maximum wireless signal rate based on IEEE Standard 802.11b specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate.}
