DWS-3160 Series Gigabit Ethernet Unified Switch Hardware Installation Guide Switch to a Server When configuring a network, users will most likely have to add a Server or two to this Switch. Generally, any port on this Switch can be used to connect to a Server, as they all operate at a maximum speed of one Gigabit per second. What sets this Switch apart is the fact that there are powerful software applications available on this Switch that specifically caters for better Server access, management and security. Figure 3- 3. Connecting the Switch to a server Switch to an Access Point directly This Switch can be used to connect to Wireless Access Points (like the DWL-8600AP, DWL-3600AP, and DWL6600AP) to manage, configure and monitor them. An Access Point can either be configured as a Standalone or a Managed Access Point. For the Unified System to function at optimal performance and flexibility, it is more feasible to configure the Access Point to function as a Managed Access Point. This means that the Switch will manage the Access Point. 16

Switch to a Server
When configuring a network, users will most likely have to add a Server or two to this Switch. Generally, any port on
this Switch can be used to connect to a Server, as they all operate at a maximum speed of one Gigabit per second.
What sets this Switch apart is the fact that there are powerful software applications available on this Switch that
specifically caters for better Server access, management and security.
Figure 3- 3. Connecting the Switch to a server
Switch to an Access Point directly
This Switch can be used to connect to Wireless Access Points (like the DWL-8600AP, DWL-3600AP, and DWL-
6600AP) to manage, configure and monitor them. An Access Point can either be configured as a Standalone or a
Managed Access Point. For the Unified System to function at optimal performance and flexibility, it is more feasible to
configure the Access Point to function as a Managed Access Point. This means that the Switch will manage the
Access Point.
