DWC-1000 Wireless Controller User’s Guide

Sample Applications

The following sections describe three deployment scenarios to show how the wireless

controller can operate in a variety of network configurations.

Connecting to a Secured Network

Figure

2-6 shows a simple network with a wireless controller, Power over Ethernet (PoE)

switch, Layer 3 switch or router, and access points. This configuration allows you to send

data over the WLAN using Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access

(WPA) to encrypt the data so that it becomes unreadable to outsiders.

In this configuration:

•

The access points and wireless controller are connected in the same subnet and use the

same IP address range assigned to that subnet.

•

There are no routers between the access points and the wireless controller.

•

The access points and wireless controller are connected to a PoE switch.

•

The uplink of the PoE switch provides Internet access.

•

The access points and wireless controller are configured for WEP or WPA.

•

The operating system on the computer that contains the network-interface card (NIC) is

configured with the same WEP or WPA network key settings configured on the switch and

wireless controller.
