Wireless Controller
DWC-1000
The D-Link DWC-1000 Wireless Controller is a centralised wireless LAN manager developed
specically for campuses, branch oces, and businesses that are looking for an easy to use,
scalable solution to manage and congure their wireless network. The DWC-1000 is also an ideal
solution for businesses that wants to provide guest wireless Internet access in public locations.
With the ability to manage up to six wireless Access Points (upgradable to 12) and a maximum
of 48 wireless Access Points in a Controller Cluster, the DWC-1000 is a cost-eective 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 congurations. With a robust and comprehensive security
detection system, the DWC-1000 also enables managed APs to block potential attacks from
unauthorised users and devices, especially for wireless environments. The Guest Management
service can generate accounts, control usage and manage access security to allow businesses
to provide easy to set up yet secure wireless Internet access in public locations such as hotels,
coee shops or airports.
Robust and Optimised Network
The DWC-1000 features a self-organising, self-optimising, and self-healing network capability
to increase the stability of the entire wireless network. With regular-based radio scanning
and performance analysing, the DWC-1000 automatically adjusts radio channels and power
periodically to avoid interference and keep the wireless network in an optimised state. To make
up for a sudden Radio Frequency (RF) signal vacuum created by any faulty Access Point, the
DWC-1000 will increase the transmit output power of neighbouring Access Points to expand
RF coverage.
