D-Link Unified Access System User Manual

The WCS user interface allows you to configure and monitor all AP settings and maintain a consistent configuration among all APs in the network.

The WCS supports advanced data path connectivity, mobility control, security safeguards, control over radio and power parameters, and management features for both network and element control. The WCS allows you to control the discovery, validation, authentication, and monitoring of peer wireless switches, D-Link Access Points, and clients on the WLAN, including discovery and status of rogue APs and clients.

The D-Link Unified Access System works with the following D-Link switches:

•DWS-3024 (24 GE ports)

•DWS-3026 (24 GE ports + 2 10G ports)

D-Link Access Point

The D-Link Access Point is part of the D-Link Unified Access System, and you manage it by using the D-Link WLAN Controller Switch.

By using the WCS to manage the access points, you can centralize AP management and streamline the AP upgrade process by pushing configuration profiles and software upgrades from the WCS to the managed APs.

The D-Link Unified Access System works with the following D-Link access points:

•DWL-3500AP

•DWL-8500AP

The DWL-3500AP supports one radio, and the DWL-8500AP supports two radios. The DWL- 3500AP radio and one of the DWL-8500AP radios operate in IEEE 802.11g mode. The second radio on the DWL-8500AP operates in IEEE 802.11a mode.

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 support 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 WLAN Controller 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.
