Description
The D-Link DWC-1000 Wireless Controller is a centralized wireless LAN manager developed specifically for campuses, branch offices, and small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) looking for a scalable and easy-to-use solution to manage and configure their wireless network.
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 interval-based radio scanning and performance analysis, the DWC-1000 automatically adjusts radio channels and output power periodically to avoid interference and keep the wireless network in an optimized state. In the event of a sudden loss of wireless signal caused by a 'dead' access point in the network, the DWC-1000 will increase the transmit output power of neighboring access points to extend RF coverage.
Comprehensive Security
The DWC-1000 provides a comprehensive wireless security solution for any network. On the wireless side, the DWC-1000 detects rogue access points and unauthorized clients using a Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS), as well as anticipates wireless threats, preventing any potential damage and unauthorized access to the network. Other key wireless security features include WPA Personal/Enterprise, WPA2 Personal/Enterprise, WEP, and MAC authentication to determine the identity of wireless devices. The captive portal feature allows administrators to block client access to the network until the clients verify their identities. These layers of authentication and authorization also provide a strong security barrier to protect against attacks from within the network.
High scalability, availability and flexibility
To address the ever-growing scale and needs of business networks, the DWC-1000 offers a flexible selection of expansion features: administrators can purchase a Business Wireless Plus license to upgrade the capabilities of the DWC-1000. D-Link offers two types of Business Wireless Plus licenses: an AP license upgrade and a VPN license upgrade. The AP license upgrade increases the number of manageable access points. By default, the DWC-1000 can manage up to 12 access points. Purchasing an AP license will upgrade this to 66 access points per controller 1. The VPN license upgrade allows the DWC-1000 to provide VPN, router, and firewall functions. The firewall feature allows administrators to control network access by setting classification policies. Optional dual ports provide link failover and provide Internet connection redundancy to ensure uninterrupted Internet connectivity. The virtual private network (VPN) feature provides secure remote control to manage access points at branch offices. Site-to-site VPN tunnels use IP Security Protocol (IPSec), Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), or Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) to facilitate branch office connectivity over encrypted virtual links. Additionally, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN tunnels enable mobile users to provide remote access to a central corporate database.
Simplified management
Centralized remote control of managed access points provides an easy way to automatically discover compatible D-Link wireless access points, add them to the managed access points list, and configure them with unique deployment settings. Using the controller clustering feature, the administrator can easily log in to a wireless controller and perform essential configurations on other wireless controllers in the cluster group. Real-time monitoring of the access points and associated client stations enables efficient utilization of network resources. System statistics and alarm reports on managed access points also help the administrator use the DWC-1000 to manage, control, and optimize network performance.
