Overview
The D-Link DWC-1000 Unied Wireless Controller is a centralized wireless LAN manager
developed specically for campuses, branch oces, and small-to-medium businesses
(SMBs). With the ability to manage up to six wireless access points (upgradable to 24) and
a maximum of 96 wireless access points in a Peer Group, the DWC-1000 is a cost-eective
mobility solution for small to medium-scale environments. Its auto-managed AP discovery
and single point management allow customers to acquire an enterprise class system
without the burden of executing massive and complex congurations. With a robust and
comprehensive security detection system, the DWC-1000 also enables managed APs to
block potential attacks from unauthorized users and devices, especially for wireless
environments.
Robust and Optimized Network
The DWC-1000 features a self-organizing, self-optimizing, and self-healing network
capability to increase the stability of the entire wireless network. With periodic radio
scanning and performance analyzing, the DWC-1000 automatically adjusts radio channels
and power to avoid interference and keep the wireless network in an optimized state. To
make up for a sudden RF signal vacuum created by any “dead” access point, the
DWC-1000 will increase the transmit output power of neighboring access points to expand
RF coverage.
Comprehensive Security
The DWC-1000 provides a comprehensive wireless security solution for any network. On the
wireless side, powered by a Wireless Instruction Detection System (WIDS), the
DWC-1000 can detect rogue access points and rogue clients as well as anticipate
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 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 oers a new dimension in feature selections:
administrators can purchase licenses to upgrade the DWC-1000’s capabilities. D-Link
oers three types of Business Wireless Plus licenses: an AP license upgrade, a VPN license
upgrade, and a Web Content Filtering (WCF) 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. 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 rewall function allows administrators to control network access by
setting classication 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
oces. 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
oce 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.
Limited Lifetime Warranty
D-Link oers a Limited Lifetime Warranty on the DWC-1000 Unied
Wireless Controller to further its commitment to product quality
and long-term customer condence. The Limited Lifetime Warranty
applies for as long as the original customer owns the product or
ve (5) years after product discontinuance, whichever occurs rst.
Web trac is one of the biggest sources for security issues and misuse of the Internet.
Inappropriate surng habits can expose a network to many security threats as well
as legal and regulatory liabilities. Productivity and Internet bandwidth can also
be impaired. The DWC-1000 supports various ltering mechanisms for removing
web content that is deemed inappropriate according to a web usage policy. Active
Content Handling can be used to “scrub” web pages of content that the administrator
considers a potential threat, such as ActiveX objects and Java Applets. Static Content
Filtering provides a means for manually classifying web sites as “good” or “bad”. This is

also known as URL blacklisting and whitelisting. And Dynamic Content Filtering
powerful feature that enables the administrator to allow or block access to web sites
depending on the category they have been classied into by an automatic classication
service. Dynamic content ltering requires a minimum of administration eort and has
very high accuracy.
is a
Simplied Management
Centralized remote control of managed access points provides a simple way to
automatically discover compatible D-Link Wireless Access Points, add them to the
managed access point list, and congure them with one-time conguration dispatch
settings. With the controller Peer Group feature, the administrator can easily log into one
wireless controller and perform essential congurations on others within the group. The
real-time monitoring of access points and associated client stations enables the ecient
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.
