Configuring DWL-8220AP Access Points

DWL-8220AP access points contain radios that provide networking between your wired network and
IEEE 802.11 wireless users. An access point connects to the wired network through a 10/100 Ethernet
link and connects to wireless users through radio signals.
The diagram below shows an example of a D-Link network containing DWL-8220AP access points
and DWS-1008 switches. An AP can be directly connected to a switch port or indirectly connected to a
switch through a Layer 2 or IPv4 Layer 3 network. For redundancy, an AP can have one of the following
combinations of multiple connections:
• Two direct connections to a single switch or two switches
• Up to four indirect connections to switches through intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3
networks
• One direct connection to a switch and up to three indirect connections to switches through
intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 networks.
