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 five times the speed of previous wireless devices, you can work faster and
more efficiently, increasing productivity. With the DWL-2700AP, bandwidth-intensive
applications like graphics or multimedia will benefit significantly because large files are
able to move across the network quickly.

The D-Link AirPremierTM DWL-2700AP features a die-cast watertight housing and a built
in lightning protector to protect the access point from harsh environmental conditions,
including extreme variance in temperature. It also includes Power over Ethernet (POE)
and a unique outdoor remote-mounted design for easy installation in either wall or pole
mounting.

The DWL-2700AP is suitable for manufacturing plants, industrial sites, military bases,
universities, hotels, airports and golf courses.

Configurable in five different modes (access point, bridge, multi-point bridge, wireless
client and repeater), the DWL-2700AP offers 128-bit encryption, WPA and 802.1X
authentication when used with a RADIUS server, MAC address access control, and
additional security features.

The DWL-2700AP is easy to manage with its Web-based user interface and Telnet
configuration. For Enterprise networks, the DWL-2700AP supports SNMP v.3 network
administration and real-time network traffic monitoring via D-Link’s D-View Network
Management software.
System Requirements for Configuration:
 Computers with Windows, Macintosh, or Linux-based
operating systems with an installed Ethernet adapter

 Internet Explorer version 6.0 or Netscape Navigator version

6.0 and Above

conforming Software will be refunded by D-Link; provided that the non-conforming Software (and all copies
thereof) is first returned to D-Link. The license granted respecting any Software for which a refund is given
automatically terminates.
Non-Applicability of Warranty: The Limited Warranty provided hereunder for hardware and software of D-
Link’s products will not be applied to and does not cover any refurbished product and any product purchased
through the inventory clearance or liquidation sale or other sales in which D-Link, the sellers, or the liquidators
expressly disclaim their warranty obligation pertaining to the product and in that case, the product is being
sold “As-Is” without any warranty whatsoever including, without limitation, the Limited Warranty as described
herein, notwithstanding anything stated herein to the contrary.

Submitting A Claim: The customer shall return the product to the original purchase point based on its return
policy. In case the return policy period has expired and the product is within warranty, the customer shall
submit a claim to D-Link as outlined below:

• The customer must submit with the product as part of the claim a written description of the Hardware
defect or Software nonconformance in sufficient detail to allow D-Link to confirm the same.
• The original product owner must obtain a Return Material Authorization (“RMA”) number from the
Authorized D-Link Service Office and, if requested, provide written proof of purchase of the product (such
as a copy of the dated purchase invoice for the product) before the warranty service is provided.

suitable shipping package to ensure that it will not be damaged in transit, and the RMA number must be

common carrier selected by D-Link, with shipping charges prepaid. Expedited shipping is available if
shipping charges are prepaid by the customer and upon request.

D-Link may reject or return any product that is not packaged and shipped in strict compliance with the
foregoing requirements, or for which an RMA number is not visible from the outside of the package. The
product owner agrees to pay D-Link’s reasonable handling and return shipping charges for any product that
