Wireless Basics The DWL-6000AP is compatible with the D-Link AirPro 802.11a family of products, which include: ♦ 5GHz Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptop computers (D-Link DWL-A650) ♦ 5GHz Wireless PCI Adapters used with desktop computers (D-Link DWL-A520) The DWL-6000AP is also compatible with the D-Link AirPlus 802.11b Wireless Family of LAN products, which include: ♦ Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptop computers (D-Link DWL-650+) ♦ Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless PCI cards used with desktop computers (D-Link DWL-520+) Standards-Based Technology The versatile DWL-6000AP Multimode Wireless Access Point integrates both 802.11a and 802.11b standards into a single unit. The IEEE 802.11a standard designates that devices operate at an optimal data rate of 54 Mbps (108Mbps in proprietary Turbo mode.) This means you will be able to transfer large files quickly or even watch a movie in MPEG format over your network without noticeable delays. This technology works by transmitting high-speed digital data over a radio wave utilizing OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology. OFDM works by splitting the radio signal into multiple smaller sub-signals that are then transmitted simultaneously at different frequencies to the receiver. OFDM reduces the amount of crosstalk (interference) in signal transmissions. D-Link AirPro products will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest speed and range possible. Based on the IEEE 802.11b standard, the DWL-6000AP is also interoperable with existing compatible 2.4GHz wireless technology with data transfer speeds of up to 22Mbps (with D-Link AirPlus Family of Wireless devices,) as well as standard 802.11b technology (with D-Link Air Family of Wireless devices), with speeds of up to 11Mbps. Supports 802.1x Authentication to prevent breeches in security. In conjunction with EAP software, 802.1x Authentication verifies client identity through a Radius Server to prevent unknown clients from accessing the network. 9

The versatile DWL-6000AP Multimode Wireless Access Point integrates both
802.11a and 802.11b standards into a single unit.
The IEEE
802.11a
standard designates that devices operate at an optimal
data rate of 54 Mbps
(108Mbps in proprietary
Turbo
mode.)
This means you
will be able to transfer large files quickly or even watch a movie in MPEG

transmitted simultaneously at different frequencies to the receiver.
OFDM

products will automatically sense the best possible connection
speed to ensure the greatest speed and range possible.
Based on the IEEE
802.11b
standard, the DWL-6000AP is also interoperable
with existing compatible 2.4GHz wireless technology with data transfer
speeds of up to 22Mbps (with D-Link
Air
Plus Family of Wireless devices,) as
well as standard 802.11b technology (with D-Link
Air
