Software User Manual 12/10/09 D-Link Unified Access System settings you configure in the profile are valid for all APs within the profile. Different hardware platforms might also require different software images. As of Release 1.0, the D-Link Unified Switch supports only DWL-8600AP hardware type. Figure 293: AP Hardware Capabilities Table 259 describes the fields available on the Profile page. Table 259: Profile Field Description Hardware Type ID Wired Network Discovery VLAN ID Select the hardware type for the APs that use this profile. The hardware type is determined, in part, by the number of radios the AP supports (single or dual) and the IEEE 802.11 modes that the radio supports (a/b/g or a/b/g/n). The option available in the Hardware Type ID is: • DWL-8600AP Dual Radio a/b/g/n Enter the VLAN ID that the switch uses to send tracer packets in order to detect APs connected to the wired network. The tracer packets help the switch identify unauthorized APs that do not belong to the D-Link Unified Access System but are connected to the wired network. To add a new profile, go to the WLAN > Administration > Advanced Configuration > AP Profile page, enter a name for the new profile in the available field, and click Add. RADIO In order to accommodate a broad range of wireless clients and wireless network requirements, the DWL-8600AP supports two radios. Radio 1 can broadcast in one of the following modes: • IEEE 802.11a mode • IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11n modes • 5 GHz IEEE 802.11n mode Radio 2 can broadcast in one of the following modes: • IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g modes • IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, and IEEE 802.11n modes • 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11n mode You configure the default radio settings from the WLAN > Basic Setup > Radio tab, which the following figure shows.
