Quality Of Service - D-Link DWL-6600AP Specifications

Unified Management
The DWL-6600AP can operate in conjunction with a D-Link Wireless Switch or
Wireless Controller. In this mode, multiple DWL-6600APs can connect directly
or indirectly to one of these switches or controllers to provide unparalleled
security and wireless mobility for wireless clients. Each DWL-6600AP can be
tuned by these switches to provide the optimal RF channels and transmission
power for all mobile clients, giving them the best wireless signals in both
2.4GHz and 5.0GHz bands and uninterrupted wireless connectivity.
Security
The DWL-6600AP supports the latest standards in Wi-Fi security, including
WEP, WPA, WPA2, and 802.1X. In addition, the DWL-6600AP supports up to 16
virtual access points (VAP) per radio, for a total of 32 VAPs, which allows the
administrator to assign different access privileges to different groups of users.
When Station Isolation is enabled, the AP blocks communication between
wireless clients on the same radio and VAP. Rogue APs in the network may
be easily detected, and the administrator will be immediately notified of any
security threat. When used together with D-Link's line of Unified Wireless
Switches or Wireless Controllers, the security can be raised to a new level.
Automatic RF Management
When a number of access points are deployed close to each other, interference
may result if proper RF management is not implemented . When a DWL-
6600AP senses any neighbor AP at startup, it will automatically select a non-
interfering channel, the DWL-6600AP will automatically lower its transmission
power to minimize interference. When that managed AP is no longer present,
the DWL-3600AP will increase it's transmit power to expand coverage.

Quality of Service

The DWL-6600AP is WMM-certified, so in the event fo network congestion,
time-sensitive traffic can be given priority ahead of other traffic. Furthermore,
when a number of DWL-6600APs are in close proximity with each other, an
access point can refuse new association request once its resources are fully
utilized. Instead, the association request will be picked up by a neighboring
AP. This feature ensures that no single AP is over burdened while other APs
nearby sit idle.
Convenient Installation
With an embedded antenna and simple styled exterior, the DWL-6600AP can
be installed on a wall or ceiling and blends in with most interior decorations
in an office. Enclosed in a plenum-rated chassis, the DWL-6600AP adheres
to strict fire codes for placement in air passageways. For easy installation,
the DWL-6600AP has integrated 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) support,
allowing installation of this device in areas where power outlets are not
readily available.
