Product Description:

Flexible Wireless LAN Connectivity
The small form factor DWL-3140AP provides secure client access that supports the new wireless functionality of the DES-1228P Web Smart Switch. Installation of multiple DWL-3140APs increases client mobility within a network. Each DWL-3140AP continually tunes itself for optimal RF channel and provides all mobile clients with the best wireless signal. DWL-3140APs can link to DES-1228Ps directly or through the existing wired network - even across Layer 3 boundaries - and receive Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) from directly connected DES-1228Ps or third-party PoE injectors.

Self-Configuration and Easy Installation
The DES-1228P Web Smart Switch automatically configures every connected DWL-3140AP so that no configuration is necessary during installation. If a DWL-3140AP needs to be replaced, the replacement DWL-3140AP automatically inherits the same configuration, making the replacement process analogous to changing a light bulb. These DWL-3140APs intentionally resemble smoke detectors to minimize visibility. With no protruding antennas and no obvious hallmarks of an AP, DWL-3140APs are less likely to be tampered with.

Port-based Anti-rogue Function
The DES-1228P’s port-based anti-rogue function is able to check if connected APs have correct connection keys. If a connected AP does not have the correct key, the DES-1228P will disable the port that the AP is connected to, preventing any rogue-AP access to your network.

The First All-In-One Wireless and Wired Smart Switch

The Freedom to Learn Virtually Anywhere

Wireless converged networking at a price anyone can afford.
Schools today are adopting technology at an amazing pace. Gone are the days when computers were found in only the university classrooms. Today's schools are becoming more and more dependent on technology to provide a higher level of education to high school, middle school, and even elementary school students. The Internet and the wealth of information that it brings, has become as common a resource tool for education as the public library. The laptop computer is slowly replacing the notepad as more and more students jump on the information super highway in and outside the classroom.

With the fast growth in technology it can become increasingly difficult for schools to find a balance between the costs and benefits associated with providing Internet services. Now, advances in wireless switching technology have made it much easier to manage and configure a large wireless network able to provide network access to classrooms, lunchrooms, dorms, outdoor classroom trailers and more. Wireless switching technology has taken the advantages of both the wired and wireless network and combined them into a unified solution capable of centralized AP management and network wide security. Unified wireless switching comes with a price however, and until recently, the hardware needed to provide a centralized wireless solution was often outside the budget of many schools and universities. Today there is another option. D-Link has created a solution designed for those on a budget. The DES-1228P packs Power over Ethernet and centralized AP management into an easy to configure web-based wireless switching platform. The DES-1228P is capable of supporting up to 24 low-profile 'thin' access points (DWL-3140AP) offering a solution capable of delivering wireless Internet and network connectivity beyond the confines of the classroom. Get a solution that is easy to use, easy to install, and easy on your budget. The DES-1228P wireless Web Smart Switch from D-Link offers your students the freedom to learn virtually anywhere.

DES-1228P: Web Smart 24-Port PoE 10/100 + (4) 1000BASE-T Ports + 2 Combo Ports Switch

The DES-1228P Web Smart Switch is a cost-effective unified wireless switching solution for the small and medium business that requires robust management features showcased in a low cost, easy to configure, and GUI managed ‘Web Smart’ business solution. The DES-1228P supports 802.3af PoE up to 15.4 Watts on all ports, 24 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet ports, 2 combo 1000BASE-T/SFP ports for flexible copper/fiber Gigabit connection and 2 additional 1000Base-T copper interfaces for uplinking to storage area network devices, servers, or core switching solutions. When paired with the DWL-3140AP ‘thin’ Access Point, the DES-1228P can provide additional features such as centralized AP management and enhanced security.

DWL-3140AP: Web Smart 802.11g PoE Thin Access Point

The D-Link® wireless Web Smart family features two components that create an easily managed and robust wireless network. The D-Link DES-1228P Web Smart Switch installed with DWL-3140AP thin Access Points offer a truly versatile Wireless LAN solution for schools and universities highlighting core functionalities such as consistent wireless connectivity, comprehensive network control, and secure user authentication needed today in the education space. The DWL-3140APs are the perimeter units that provide wireless connectivity to the clients. With a smoke-detector chassis, visibility is minimal. Each DWL-3140AP continually tunes itself for optimal RF style channel and transmit power to provide all mobile clients with the best wireless signal.
