DWC-1000 Wireless Controller
Comprehensive Security
The DWC-1000 provides a comprehensive wireless security solution for
any network. On the wireless side, empowered by a Wireless Instruction
Detection System (WIDS), the DWC-1000 detects rogue Access Points and
rogue clients as well as anticipates wireless threats, preventing any potential
damage and illegal access. In addition to other fundamental wireless security
features including WEP, WPA Personal/ Enterprise, WPA2 Personal/Enterprise,
and MAC Authentication to determine the identity of wireless devices, the
Captive Portal feature allows you to block clients from accessing the network
until the clients verify their identities. This double-layer authentication and
authorisation provides a robust security fence to also protect against attacks
from within the network.
High Scalability, Availability, and Flexibility
Many companies are frequently changing in terms of size and organisational
structure. To address such changing needs, the DWC-1000 oers a new
dimension in feature selections: administrators can purchase additional
licenses to upgrade the DWC-1000’s capabilities. D-Link oers two types
of licenses: an AP license upgrade and a VPN license upgrade. Both license
options oer scalability, exibility and increased functionality for potential
business growth.
The AP license upgrade increases the number of manageable Access Points.
The DWC-1000 Wireless Controller manages up to six access points by default
and after AP license upgrading, can manage up to 24 Access Points per
controller.
The VPN license upgrade enables the DWC-1000 to provide VPN, Router, and
Firewall functionality. The rewall function allows administrators to control
network access by setting classication policies. The dual option ports provide
link failover and provide Internet connection redundancy to ensure Internet
access. The Virtual Private Network (VPN) features provide secure remote
control to manage Access Points in branch oces. Site-to-site VPN tunnels
use IP Security (IPSec) Protocol, Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), or
Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) to facilitate branch oce
Simplied Management
Centralised remote control of managed Access Points provide a simple way
to automatically discover compatible D-Link Wireless Access Points, add
them into the managed access point list, and congure them with one-time
conguration dispatch settings. With the controller clustering feature, the
administrator can easily log into one wireless controller and perform essential
congurations on others within the group. The real-time monitoring of Access
Points and associated client stations enable the ecient utilisation of network
resources. System alarms and statistics reports on managed Access Points also
help the administrator to use the DWC-1000 to manage, control, and optimise
network performance. Furthermore, the DWC-1000 supports various D-Link
indoor managed Access Points, including dual band and single band.
