uper-fast Wireless AC Performance

The DAP-2695 delivers reliable, high-speed wireless performance using the latest 802.11ac

standards with maximum wireless signal rates of up to 450 Mbps over the 2.4 GHz band, and

1300 Mbps over the 5 GHz band

. This, coupled with support for the Wi-Fi Multimedia™ (WMM)

Quality of Service (QoS) feature, makes it an ideal access point for audio, video, and voice

applications. When enabled, QoS allows the DAP-2695 to automatically prioritize network

traffic according to the level of interactive streaming, such as HD movies or VoIP. The QoS

feature can be adjusted through the DAP-2695’s web GUI using a drop-down menu option to

select customized priority rules. Additionally, the DAP-2695 supports load balancing to ensure

maximum performance by limiting the maximum number of users per access point.

Versatile Access Point Functionality

The DAP-2695 allows network administrators to deploy a highly manageable and extremely

robust simultaneous dual-band wireless network. All six antennas on the DAP-2695 are

detachable and can provide optimal wireless coverage over either the 2.4 GHz (802.11b,

802.11g, and 802.11n) or the 5 GHz (802.11a, 802.11n, and 802.11ac) band. Enclosed in a

plenum-rated metal chassis, the DAP-2695 adheres to strict fire codes for placement in air

passageways. For advanced installations, the DAP-2695 has integrated 802.3at Power over

Ethernet (PoE) support, allowing this device to be installed in areas where power outlets are

not readily available.

Security

To help maintain a secure wireless network, the DAP-2695 supports both

Personal and Enterprise versions of WPA and WPA2 (802.11i), with support for

RADIUS server backend and a built-in internal RADIUS server allowing users

to create their accounts within the device itself. This access point also includes

MAC address filtering, wireless LAN segmentation, SSID broadcast disablerogue AP detection, and wireless broadcast scheduling to further protect

your wireless network. The DAP-2695 includes support for up to eight VLANs

per band for implementing multiple SSIDs to further help segment users on

the network. It also includes a wireless client isolation mechanism, which

limits direct client-to-client communication. Additionally, the DAP-2695

supports Network Access Protection (NAP), a feature of Windows Server®

2008, allowing network administrators to define multiple levels of network

access based on individual client’s need.

Multiple Operation Modes

To maximize total return on investment, the DAP-2695 can be configured to

optimize network performance based on any one of its multiple operation

modes: Access Point, Wireless Distribution System (WDS) with Access Point,

WDS/Bridge (No AP Broadcasting), and Wireless Client. With WDS support,

network administrators can set up multiple DAP-2695s throughout a facility

and configure them to bridge with one another while also providing network

access to individual clients. The DAP-2695 also features advanced features

such as load balancing and redundancy, for fail-safe wireless connectivity.

Network Management

Network administrators have multiple options for managing the DAP-2695,

including web (HTTP), Secure Socket Layer (SSL, which provides for a

secure connection to the Internet), Secure Shell (SSH, which provides

for a secure channel between local and remote computers), and Telnet.

For advanced network management, administrators can use the D-Link

AP Manager II, or D-View SNMP management module to configure and

manage multiple access points from a single location. In addition, the AP

Manager II and D-View software provide network administrators with the

means of conducting regular maintenance checks remotely, eliminating

the need for sending out personnel to physically verify proper operation.

Also available is an AP array, allowing the management of a set of network

devices as a single group for easy configuration and deployment. In addition,

the DAP-2695 has a wireless scheduler feature,
