Versatile Access Point

The DAP-2590 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 (802.11and draft 2.0 802.11n) or 5GHz (802.11a and draft 2.0 802.11n) frequency bands. Enclosed in a plenum-rated metal chassis, the AirPremier N Dual Band PoE Access Point adheres to strict fre codes for placement in air passageways. 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.

Enhanced Performance

The DAP-2590 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.

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 Broadcast Scheduling to further protect your wireless network. The AirPremier N Dual Band PoE Access Point includes support for up to 8 VLANs for implementing multiple service set identifiers (SSIDs) to further help segment users on the network. The DAP-2590 also includes a wireless client isolation mechanism to limit direct client-to-client communication.

Multiple Operation Modes

The DAP-2590 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-2590s 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. Spanning Tree Protocol support allows greater efficiency and avoids broadcast storms when used in WDS mode.
