Introduction

The DWL-7700AP covers a large operating distance, providing an 802.11a/g outdoor

WLAN which enables users to access the Internet or an organization’s network.

The D-Link

Air

PremierTM DWL-7700AP features a die-cast watertight housing and a

built-in lightning protector to protect the access point from harsh environmental conditions,

including extreme variance in temperature. It also includes

Power over Ethernet

(POE)

and a unique outdoor remote-mounted design for easy installation. With two mounting

kits, you have the option of either pole or wall mounting.

The DWL-7700AP is suitable for manufacturing plants, industrial sites, military bases,

universities, hotels, airports and golf courses.

Configurable in four different modes (access point, bridge, multi-point bridge, and

wireless client), the DWL-7700AP offers 152-bit encryption, WPA and 802.1X

authentication when used with a RADIUS server, MAC address access control, and

additional security features.

The DWL-7700AP is easy to manage with its Web-based user interface and Telnet

configuration. For Enterprise networks, the DWL-7700AP supports SNMP v.3 network

administration and real-time network traffic monitoring via D-Link’s D-View Network

Management software.

At up to five times the speed of previous wireless devices, you can work faster and

more efficiently, increasing productivity. With the DWL-7700AP, bandwidth-intensive

applications like graphics or multimedia will benefit significantly because large files

are able to move across the network quickly.
