Overview

The D-Link DAP-2553 AirPremier N Dual Band PoE Access

Point provides businesses with a solution for deploying next

generation draft 802.11n local area networks (LANs). Designed

speciically for business-class environments, such as large or

enterprise corporations, this access point provides secure

and manageable dual band wireless LAN options for network

administrators.

The AirPremier N Dual Band PoE Access Point includes

support for up to 8 VLANs for implementing multiple service

set identiiers (SSIDs) to further help segment users on the

network. The DAP-2553 also includes a wireless client isolation

mechanism to limit direct client-to-client communication.

Trusted Security Features

+ WPA2™ - Enterprise/Personal

+ WPA™ - Enterprise/Personal

+ WPA2 - PSK/AES over WDS

+ 64/128-bit WEP Encryption

+ MAC Address Filtering

Network Management

Network administrators have multiple options for managing

the AirPremier N Dual Band PoE Access Point 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 (bi-directional, eightbit

byte oriented communications facility). For advanced

network management, administrators can use the D-Link

AP Manager II or D-View SNMPv3 management module

to conigure 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 without wasting

resources by sending personnel out to physically verify

proper operation.

Versatile Access Point

The DAP-2553 AirPremier N Dual Band PoE Access

Point allows network administrators to arrange a highly

manageable and extremely robust dual band wireless

network. All three detachable dual band antennas supply

optimal wireless coverage in either 2.4GHz (802.11g and

draft 2.0 802.11n) or 5GHz (802.11a and draft 2.0 802.11n)

frequency bands. For advanced installations, this high-

speed access point has integrated 802.3af Power over

Ethernet (PoE) support, allowing installation of this device

in areas where power outlets are not readily available.

Convenient Installation

+ Supports 802.3af Power over Ethernet

Easy Management

+ Web Browser (HTTP) & HTTPS

+ Telnet

+ SNMP v1, v2c, and v3

+ AP Manager II

+ SSH

+ D-View 5.1 and 6.0

Enhanced Performance

The DAP-2553 delivers reliable wireless performance

with maximum wireless signal rates of up to 300Mbps in

either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz wireless band. Support for the

Wi-Fi Multimedia™ (WMM) Quality of Service feature,

makes it an ideal access point for audio, video, and voice

applications. Additionally, this access point supports load

balance features to ensure maximum performance.

With the selectable dual band functionality, PoE support,

extensive manageability, versatile operation modes, and

solid security enhancements, the new D-Link DAP-2553

AirPremier N Dual Band PoE Access Point provides small

to medium business (SMB) environments with a business-

class solution for deploying a wireless network in the

workplace.

Security

To help maintain a secure wireless network, the AirPremier

N Dual Band PoE Access Point 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. This access point also includes

MAC Address Filtering, Wireless LAN segmentation, Disable

SSID Broadcast, Rogue AP Detection, and Wireless On/Off

Scheduling to further protect your wireless network.

Multiple Operation Modes

The DAP-2553 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-2553s 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 Spanning Tree

Protocol support, which allows greater efficiency and

avoids broadcast storms when used in WDS mode.
