D-Link DWL-AG530 Technical Specifications

802.11a/g Tri-Mode Dualband Wireless PCI Card
The D-Link AirPremierAG DWL-AG530 wireless PCI card is a high-performance, versatile and necessary desktop PC
networking solution for companies that need to quickly expand or reconfigure their wireless networks as their organization
grows. This tri-mode, dualband network card inserts into your desktop PC to provide you a versatile way to wirelessly connect
to any one of three available wireless networks -- 802.11b and the newer, faster 802.11g and 802.11a that operate in two
discrete, non-interfering frequency bands, 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
Easiest Way to Expand
If you're a network administrator, the versatile 802.11a/b/g-
compatible DWL-AG530 card gives you an immediate way
to expand your existing 802.11b network and protect your
overall wireless network investment. By installing DWL-
AG530 network cards in desktops throughout your
organization, your employees can access wireless Access
Points and routers from their desktop PCs. And as your
company expands or reorganizes, you won't have to keep
pulling and plugging Ethernet cables because no matter
where the workstation is relocated, it's still connected to the
network.
End-to-End Wireless Solution
When you add an 802.11a/b/g access point (D-Link
AirPremierAG DWL-7100AP) or router (D-Link
AirPremierAG DI-784) to your wireless network, you will
have an end-to-end wireless solution capable of handling up
to 15 times the user load of your current 802.11b network.
108Mbps SuperG High Speed
In addition to its compatibility with earlier 802.11b
networks, the DWL-AG530 offers the robust speed, up to
108Mbps (Turbo mode), of the newer 802.11g standard,
so everyone can work faster and more efficiently.
In addition to the 2.4GHz frequency band operated by
802.11b and g, the 54Mbps 5GHz band used by 802.11a also
offers a way to quickly transfer data in a frequency range that
does not experience interference or interruptions from cordless
phones, microwave ovens and other devices utilizing the
2.4GHz frequency.

WPA Enhanced Security
TM
Wi-Fi Protected Access in the DWL-AG530 provides the
necessary security protocols and tools, so employees can
communicate with colleagues confidentially, access sensitive
company information or send data that is dynamically
TM
encrypted as it's sent. Wi-Fi Protected Access lets you
authorize and identify users based on a secret key that
changes automatically at a regular interval. Used in
conjunction with a RADIUS server, WPA uses TKIP
(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) to change the temporal
key every 10,000 packets. This insures much greater security
than the standard WEP security, which requires the keys to
be changed manually.
802.1x Authentication
The DWL-AG530 supports 802.1x authentication for
protection against network intrusion. Used in conjunction
with a RADIUS server, this function provides a means to
verify the identity of the client before an access to the
network is granted.
Pre-Shared Key
This function brings a lot of convenience (when used in
conjunction with other 802.11g products) for users that do
not incorporate a RADIUS server in their networks. Utilizing
the Pre Shared Key mode of WPA, the DWL-AG530 will
obtain a new security key every time it connects to the
802.11g network. You only need to input your encryption
information once in the configuration menu. With the DWL-
AG530, you will automatically receive a new key every time
you connect, doing away with the inconvenience of manual
WEP key input.
