Overview
The D-Link DWC-1000 Unified Wireless Controller is a centralized wireless LAN manager
developed specifically for campuses, branch offices, and small-to-medium businesses
(SMBs). With the ability to manage up to six wireless access points (upgradable to 24) and
a maximum of 96 wireless access points in a Peer Group, the DWC-1000 is a cost-effective
mobility solution for small to medium-scale environments. Its auto-managed AP discovery
and single point management allow customers to acquire an enterprise class system
without the burden of executing massive and complex configurations. With a robust and
comprehensive security detection system, the DWC-1000 also enables managed APs to
block potential attacks from unauthorized users and devices, especially for wireless
environments.
Robust and Optimized Network
The DWC-1000 features a self-organizing, self-optimizing, and self-healing network
capability to increase the stability of the entire wireless network. With periodic radio
scanning and performance analyzing, the DWC-1000 automatically adjusts radio channels
and power to avoid interference and keep the wireless network in an optimized state. To
make up for a sudden RF signal vacuum created by any "dead" access point, the
DWC-1000 will increase the transmit output power of neighboring access points to expand
RF coverage.
Comprehensive Security
The DWC-1000 provides a comprehensive wireless security solution for any network. On the
wireless side, powered by a Wireless Instruction Detection System (WIDS), the
DWC-1000 can detect rogue access points and rogue clients as well as anticipate
wireless threats, preventing any potential damage and illegal access. In addition to other
