Introduction The DWL-2700AP covers a large operating distance, providing an 802.11g outdoor WLAN which enables users to access the Internet or an organization’s network. At up to fifteen times the speed of previous wireless devices (up to 108Mbps in Super G mode), you can work faster and more efficiently, increasing productivity. With the DWL2700AP, bandwidth-intensive applications like graphics or multimedia will benefit significantly because large files are able to move across the network quickly.
Features Ideal for Internet Hotspots- Provides outdoor users with wireless Internet access. Robust Outdoor Housing - Designed for harsh outdoor environments, with diecast, watertight housing, built-in heater and temperature sensor.

Using the Configuration Utility To configure the DWL-2700AP, use a computer which is connected to the DWL-2700AP with an Ethernet cable (see the Network Layout diagram). First, disable the Access the Internet using a proxy server function. To disable this function, go to Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings and uncheck the enable box. Start your web browser program (Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator) .
Using the Configuration Utility (continued) After the connection is established, you will see the user identification window as shown. Note: If you have changed the default IP address assigned to the DWL-2700AP, make sure to enter the correct IP address. Type admin in the User Name field The default password is root. (However, if you have changed the password, please enter the correct password.) Click OK Home > Wizard The Home>Wizard screen will appear.
Using the Configuration Utility (continued) Home > Wireless Wireless BandSSID- SSID Broadcast- Channel- 802.11g Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name designated for a specific wireless local area network (WLAN). The SSID’s factory default setting is default. The SSID can be easily changed to connect to an existing wireless network or to establish a new wireless network. Enable or Disable SSID Broadcast. Enabling this feature broadcasts the SSID across the network. 6 is the default channel.
Using the Configuration Utility (continued) Home > LAN LAN is short for Local Area Network. This is considered your internal network. These are the IP settings of the LAN interface for the DWL-2700AP. These settings may be referred to as private settings. You may change the LAN IP address if needed. The LAN IP address is private to your internal network and cannot be seen on the Internet.
Using the Configuration Utility (continued) Advanced > Mode The DWL-2700AP can be configured to perform in any of five modes: wireless access point; wireless client; wireless bridge; multi-point bridge; repeater. Access Point is the default setting. This mode is used to create a wireless LAN. PtP Bridge will allow you to connect two LANs together. The wireless bridge mode will work only with another DWL2700AP. Click to enable and enter the MAC address of the remote bridge.
Using the Configuration Utility (continued) Wireless Band- Advanced > Performance 802.11g Turbo SettingEnabling Turbo mode increases the throughput to a maximum of 108Mbps. All devices on the network must share the same Turbo setting in order to communicate. Select Disabled on all network devices to share the standard 802.11g throughput of up to 108Mbps. FrequencyThe frequency remains at 2.437 GHz. ChannelSelect from channels 1-11.
Using the Configuration Utility (continued) Advanced > Filters Wireless Band- 802.11g Access Control- Select Disabled to disable the filters function. Select Accept to accept only those devices with MAC addresses in the Access Control List. Select Reject to reject the devices with MAC addresses in the Access Control List. Access Control List- The MAC addresses in this list can be accepted or rejected for inclusion in the network, depending upon the Access Control selection.
Using the Configuration Utility (continued) Advanced > Encryption WPA & 802.1x - represent the first line of defense against network intrusion. In the authentication process the RADIUS server verifies the identity of the client attempting to connect to the network. Unfamiliar clients will be denied access. EAP(Extensible Authentication Protocol) is available through the Windows XP Operating System. You will need to use the same type of EAP protocol on all the devices in your network when using the 802.
Using the Configuration Utility (continued) Advanced > Grouping Load Balance- Select Enabled or Disabled. When you Enable Load Balance you allow several DWL-2700APs to balance wireless network traffic and wireless clients among the DWL-2700APs in the network. Assign each access point a different non-overlapping channel (e.g., 1, 6, 11). User Limit (0-64)- Set the User Limit in this field (0-64). Link Integrate- Select Enabled or Disabled.
