Unied Wireless Controller
DWC-2000
Overview
The D-Link DWC-2000 Wireless Controller is a centralized Wireless LAN manager designed
specically for education, hospitality, and medium-to-large enterprises. Out of the box, it can
manage up to 64 compatible D-Link Unied Wireless Access Points. With optional upgrade
licenses, it can support up to 256 access points per controller, and up to 1,024 access points in
a controller peer group, making it cost-eective mobility solution suitable for medium to large
scale deployments. Features such as auto-managed AP discovery and single-point management
allow users to achieve enterprise class networking without the burden of executing massive
and complex congurations. The guest account generation function manages guest user
bandwidth and accessibility to network resources. With a robust and comprehensive security
detection system, the DWC-2000 manages associated APs by blocking potential attacks from
unauthorized users and appliances, which is particularly crucial in wireless environments.
Simplied Deployment and Management
Using the Setup Wizard, the DWC-2000 can be congured for any network in minutes.
Centralized management of remote access points via a simple interface provides the
ability to automatically discover compatible D-Link Wireless Access Points, add them into
the managed access point list, and set one-time conguration dispatch settings for them.
The network administrator can use the controller clustering feature to easily log into one
wireless controller and push essential congurations to others within the group.
The dashboard displays real-time monitoring of access points and associated client
stations to manage network resources eciently. Furthermore, the graphical widgets on
the dashboard can be customized to provide various client and network statistics at a
glance. Combined with system alarms and statistical reports on managed access points,
the DWC-2000 is the one-stop platform that allows administrators to eectively optimize
and manage their network environment.
