Overview
The DWS-3160 is D-Link’s latest Unied L2+ Gigabit Wired/Wireless Switch.
Designed to be the ideal mobility solution for medium-sized and large enterprises
and service providers, the DWS-3160 empowers administrators to exercise total
control over their wireless networks by centralising all aspects of provisioning and
management. Able to manage up to 48 D-Link Unied Access Points by itself and
up to 192 in a switch cluster, the DWS-3160 can be congured to act either as a
Wireless Controller in the core network, or as an L2+ Gigabit Switch at the edge,
enabling it to be seamlessly integrated into any existing network infrastructure.

prole to an individual D-Link Unied AP, and the conguration corresponding to that
prole would be applied onto that AP automatically. In addition, the DWS-3160 can
apply new rmware to all D-Link Unied Access Points on the network, thus greatly
simplifyingtheupgradeprocess.
Besides its wireless capabilities, the DWS-3160also excelsas an advanced L2+ switch.
