The D-Link DWC-1000 Wireless Controller is a centralised wireless LAN manager
developed specifi cally for campuses, branch offi ces, and businesses that are looking for
an easy to use, scalable solution to manage and confi gure their wireless network. The
DWC-1000 is also an ideal solution for businesses that wants to provide guest wireless
Internet access in public locations. With the ability to manage up to six wireless Access
Points (upgradable to 24) and a maximum of 96 wireless Access Points in a Controller
Cluster, the DWC-1000 is a cost-eff ective 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 confi gurations. With a robust and comprehensive security
detection system, the DWC-1000 also enables managed APs to block potential attacks
from unauthorised users and devices, especially for wireless environments. The Guest
Management service can generate accounts, control usage and manage access security
to allow businesses to provide easy to set up yet secure wireless Internet access in
public locations such as hotels, coff ee shops or airports.

Robust and Optimised Network
The DWC-1000 features a self-organising, self-optimising, 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 optimised state. To make up for a sudden Radio Frequency (RF) signal
vacuum created by any faulty Access Point, the DWC-1000 will increase the transmit
output power of neighboring Access Points to expand RF coverage.
