A proper network setup with a modem/router/gateway ‎-sold separately‎- must be in place to be able to use this device

The DAP‎-2360 is an 802.11n Plenum‎-rated PoE Access Point ideal for any network administrator to create or expand the capacity of a wireless network‎.‎ This access point is mainly used in high traffic areas such as airports‎,‎ coffee shops‎,‎ shopping centers‎,‎ sporting venues‎,‎ and university campus deployments‎.‎ At transfer rates of up to 300 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz frequency range‎,‎ users are able to connect with legacy 802.11b/g adapters as well as the latest 802.11n adapters to enjoy faster downloads and instant communication‎.‎

Versatile Access Point

The DAP‎-2360 allows network administrators to deploy a highly manageable and extremely robust 802.11n wireless network‎.‎ The included antennas are detachable and provide optimal wireless coverage in the 2.4 GHz ‎(‎802.11g and 802.11n‎)‎ band using a high power radio design to reduce dead spots and increase capacity‎.‎ Enclosed in a white plenum‎-rated metal chassis‎,‎ the DAP‎-2360 easily blends into ceilings or walls and adheres to strict fire codes for placement in air passageways‎.‎ For advanced installations‎,‎ this high‎-speed access point has integrated 802.3af Power over Ethernet ‎(‎PoE‎)‎‎,‎ making installation easy in areas where power outlets are not readily available‎.‎ 

Enhanced Performance

The DAP‎-2360 delivers reliable wireless performance with maximum wireless signal rates of up to 300 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz wireless band‎.‎ This‎,‎ coupled with support for Wi‎-Fi Multimedia ‎(‎WMM™‎)‎ Quality of Service features‎,‎ makes it an ideal access point for audio‎,‎ video‎,‎ and voice applications‎.‎ Additionally‎,‎ the DAP‎-2360 supports load balancing features to ensure maximum performance by limiting the maximum number of users per Access Point‎.‎

Security 

To help maintain a secure wireless network‎,‎ the DAP‎-2360 provides the latest in wireless security technologies by supporting both Personal and Enterprise versions of WPA and WPA2 ‎(‎802.11i‎)‎ with support for RADIUS server backend‎.‎ To further protect your wireless network‎,‎ MAC Address Filtering‎,‎ Wireless LAN segmentation‎,‎ Disable SSID Broadcast‎,‎ Rogue AP Detection‎,‎ and Wireless Broadcast Scheduling are also included‎.‎

The DAP‎-2360 includes support for up to eight VLANs 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.‎

Multiple Operation Modes

To maximize total return on investment‎,‎ the DAP‎-2360 can be configured to optimize network performance based on any one of its multiple operation modes‎:‎ Access Point‎,‎ Wireless Client‎,‎ Wireless Distribution System ‎(‎WDS‎)‎‎,‎ and WDS with Access Point‎.‎ With WDS support‎,‎ network administrators can set up multiple DAP‎-2360s throughout a facility and configure them to bridge with one another while also providing network access to individual clients‎.‎ Also included are advanced features such as Load Balancing‎,‎ which optimizes high network traffic volume‎,‎ and redundancy for fail‎-safe wireless connectivity‎.‎ Additionally‎,‎ the DAP‎-2360 offers Spanning Tree Protocol support for greater efficiency and to avoid broadcast storms when used in WDS mode‎.‎

Network Management

Network administrators have multiple options for managing the DAP‎-2360‎,‎ including Web ‎(‎HTTP‎)‎‎,‎ Secure Sockets Later ‎(‎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 ‎(‎bidirectional‎,‎ 8‎-bit byte oriented communications facility‎)‎‎.‎ For advanced network management‎,‎ administrators can use the D‎-Link AP Manager II or D‎-View SNMPv3 management module to configure and manage multiple access points from a single location‎.‎ In addition to a streamlined management process‎,‎ the AP Manager II or D‎-View software provides network administrators with the means of verifying and conducting regular maintenance checks remotely‎,‎ eliminating the need to send personnel out to physically verify proper operation‎.‎ With 2.4GHz band functionality‎,‎ PoE support‎,‎ a plenum‎-rated chassis‎,‎ extensive manageability‎,‎ versatile operation modes‎,‎ and solid security enhancements‎,‎ the D‎-Link AirPremier N PoE Access Point ‎(‎DAP‎-2360‎)‎ provides SMB environments with a business‎-class solution for deploying a wireless network in the workplace‎.‎
