Product Overview
Introduction
The DWC-2000 Wireless Controller is intended to provide medium-to-large-sized businesses with a solution for
conguring, managing, and monitoring up to 256 D-Link DWL-2600AP, DWL-3600AP, DWL-6600AP, DWL-8600AP,
and/or DWL-8610AP access points from a central location.
Using the wireless controller and the access points with which it is associated lets you:
• Discover and congure D-Link access points on the WLAN
• Optimize wireless access point performance with centralized RF management, security, Quality of Service
(QoS), and other conguration features
• Streamline security conguration tasks and set up guest access
• Monitor network status and statistics
• Perform maintenance tasks and rmware updates for the wireless management system and for D-Link
access points on your wireless network
• Conduct troubleshooting procedures
Conguration is performed using conguration proles. A conguration prole allows a wireless controller to
distribute a set of radio, Service Set Identier (SSID), and QoS parameters to the access points associated with
that prole.
The wireless controller comes with one prole predened. You can use this prole as is, edit it to suit your
requirements, or create new conguration proles as necessary. For example:
• An oce building may have one conguration prole for access points located in one area of a facility
(such as a general work area) and a dierent prole for access points in another area of the facility (for
example, in the Human Resources department).
• A shopping mall may need several conguration proles if several businesses share a WLAN, but each
business has its own network.
• Large networks that need dierent policies per building or department could have access points
congured for security policies for each building and department (for example, one for guests, one for
management, one for sales, and so on).
