DWC-1000 Wireless Controller Network Implementation within L2/L3 Network in an SMB Environment fundamental wireless security features including WEP, WPA Personal/Enterprise, WPA2 Personal/Enterprise, and MAC Authentication to determine the identity of wireless devices, the Captive Portal feature allows you to block clients from accessing the network until the clients verify their identities. This double-layer authentication and authorization provides a robust security fence to also protect against attacks from within the network. High Scalability, Availability, and Flexibility Companies frequently change in terms of size and organizational structure. To address such changing needs, the DWC-1000 offers a new dimension in feature selections: administrators can purchase Business Wireless Plus licenses to upgrade the DWC-1000's capabilities. D-Link offers two types of Business Wireless Plus licensed: an AP license upgrade and a VPN license upgrade. Remotely Managed AP Implementation (VPN/Router/Firewall license upgrade required) The AP license upgrade increases the number of manageable access points. The DWC-1000 Wireless Controller manages up to six access points by default. After adding AP license upgrades, it can manage up to 24 access points per controller. The VPN license upgrade enables the DWC-1000 to provide VPN, Router, and Firewall functionality. The firewall function allows administrators to control network access by setting classification policies. The dual Option ports provide link failover and provide Internet connection redundancy to ensure Internet access. The virtual private network (VPN) features provide secure remote control to manage access points in branch offices. Site-to-site VPN tunnels can use the IP Security (IPSec) Protocol, Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), or Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) to facilitate branch office connectivity through encrypted virtual links. In addition, the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN tunnels empower your mobile users by providing remote access to a central corporate database. Simplified Management Centralized remote control of managed access points provide a simple way to automatically discover compatible D-Link Wireless Access Points, add them to the managed access point list, and configure them with one-time configuration dispatch settings. With the controller Peer Group feature, the administrator can easily log into one wireless controller and perform essential configurations on others within the group. The real-time monitoring of access points and associated client stations enable the efficient utilization of network resources. System alarms and statistics reports on managed access points also help the administrator use the DWC-1000 to manage, control, and optimize network performance.
