Robust and Optimized NetworkThe DWC-1000 features a self-organizing, self-optimizing, and self-healing network capability to increase the stability of the entire wireless network. With regular-based radio scanning and performance analyzing, the DWC-1000 automatically adjusts radio channels and power periodically to avoid interference and keep the wireless network in an optimized state.Comprehensive SecurityThe DWC-1000 provides a comprehensive wireless security solution for any network. On the wireless side, empowered by a Wireless Instruction Detection System (WIDS), the DWC-1000 detects rogue access points and rogue clients as well as anticipates wireless threats, preventing any potential damage and illegal access. In addition to other 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 tough security fence to also protect against attacks from within the network.High Scalability, Availability, and FlexibilityTo accommodate for size and organizational structure changes, administrators can purchase a Business Wireless Plus license to upgrade the DWC-1000’s capabilities. D-Link offers two types of Business Wireless Plus licenses: an AP license upgrade and a VPN license upgrade. The AP license upgrade increases the number of manageable access points. The DWC-1000 Wireless Controller manages up to six access points by default and 24 access points per controller after the AP license upgrade. 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 use 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 ManagementCentralized remote control of managed access points provides a simple way to automatically discover compatible D-Link Wireless Access Points. Manage and configure these Access Points with one-time configuration dispatch settings. With the controller clustering 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 to use the DWC-1000 to manage, control, and optimize network performance.
