Section 1 - Product Overview Introduction The DAP-2360 802.11n AP increases productivity by allowing you to work faster and more efficiently. With the DAP-2360, bandwidth-intensive applications like graphics or multimedia will benefit significantly because large files are now able to move across the network quickly. The DAP-2360 is capable of operating in one of four different wireless networking modes: access point, WDS (Wireless Distribution System) with AP, WDS, or Wireless Client mode.
Section 1 - Product Overview Management and security implementation can now be centralized on a server participating on the network. Utilizing 802.1X with a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service) server, a network administrator can define a list of authorized users who can access the wireless LAN. When attempting to access a wireless LAN with WPA-Enterprise configured, the new client will be requested to enter a username with a password.
