Product Overview
Introduction
The DWC-2000 Wireless Controller is intended to provide medium-to-large-sized businesses with a solution for
conguring, managing, and monitoring up to 256 D-Link DWL-2600AP, DWL-3600AP, DWL-6600AP, DWL-8600AP,
and/or DWL-8610AP access points from a central location.
Using the wireless controller and the access points with which it is associated lets you:
• Discover and congure D-Link access points on the WLAN
• Optimize wireless access point performance with centralized RF management, security, Quality of Service
(QoS), and other conguration features
• Streamline security conguration tasks and set up guest access
• Monitor network status and statistics
• Perform maintenance tasks and rmware updates for the wireless management system and for D-Link
access points on your wireless network
• Conduct troubleshooting procedures
Conguration is performed using conguration proles. A conguration prole allows a wireless controller to
distribute a set of radio, Service Set Identier (SSID), and QoS parameters to the access points associated with
that prole.
The wireless controller comes with one prole predened. You can use this prole as is, edit it to suit your
requirements, or create new conguration proles as necessary. For example:
• An oce building may have one conguration prole for access points located in one area of a facility
(such as a general work area) and a dierent prole for access points in another area of the facility (for
example, in the Human Resources department).
• A shopping mall may need several conguration proles if several businesses share a WLAN, but each
business has its own network.
• Large networks that need dierent policies per building or department could have access points
congured for security policies for each building and department (for example, one for guests, one for
management, one for sales, and so on).
