management and streamline the AP upgrade process by pushing configuration profiles and software upgrades from
the Unified Switch to the managed APs. The Web UI Reference Guide and the CLI Reference Guide primarily
describes the D-Link Access Point in Managed Mode.
The D-Link Unified Access System works with the following D-Link access points:
• DWL-3600AP
• DWL-8600AP
DWL-6600AP
•
Each access point supports up to eight virtual access points (VAPs) on each radio. The VAP feature allows you to
segment each physical access point into eight logical access points (per radio) that each supports a unique SSID,
VLAN ID, and security policy.

WLAN Visualization

The D-Link Unified Access System includes the WLAN Visualization tool, which provides a graphical representation of
your wireless network through a Web browser. WLAN Visualization detects and displays the D-Link Unified Switch, D-
Link Access Points, other access points, and all wireless clients associated with the D-Link Access Point. You can
import information about your building layout to customize the network view.
The figure below shows an example of a floor plan and network with a D-Link Unified Switch that manages two APs.
The graph also shows a peer switch and a rogue AP in the network.
The WLAN Visualization tool provides an AP power display with color-coded channels to help you determine where to
physically place access points to reduce interference or increase coverage on your WLAN.
