Section 9: Configuring the Wireless Features
The D-Link Unified Switch is a wireless local area network (WLAN) solution that enables WLAN deployment
while providing state-of-the-art wireless networking features. It is a scalable solution that provides secure
wireless connectivity and seamless layer 2 and layer 3 fast roaming for end users.
This section contains information about the features available in the WLAN folder, which includes the
following:
• Unified Wired and Wireless Access System Components
• Monitoring Status and Statistics
• Basic Setup
• AP Management
• Configuring Advanced Settings
• Configuring the Wireless Distribution System
• Locating WLAN Devices
• Visualizing the Wireless Network
Unified Wired and Wireless Access System Components
The Unified Wired and Wireless Access System components include:
• D-Link DWS-4000 Series Unified Wireless Switch (UWS)
• DWL-8600AP Unified Access Point (UAP)
• DWL-6600AP UAP
• DWL-3600AP UAP
Each DWS-4000 Series switch can manage up to 64 UAPs. Each access point radio can handle up to 200
associated wireless clients, so a dual-radio AP can handle up to 400 wireless clients. The switch tracks the
status and statistics for all associated WLAN traffic and devices.
To support larger networks wireless switches can be configured to belong to a cluster (peer group). Clusters
can contain up to 8 switches that share various information about UAPs and their associated wireless clients.
Each cluster can support up to 256 APs and a total of 8000 wireless clients. Switches within the cluster enable
L3 roaming between managed APs in a routing configuration. This means that wireless clients can roam among
the access points within the cluster without losing network connections. Additionally, you can push portions
of the wireless configuration to one or more switches within the cluster.
One switch in the cluster is automatically elected or configured to be the Cluster Controller. The Cluster
Controller gathers status and statistics about all APs and clients in the cluster so you can view network status
information and manage all devices in the cluster from a single switch.
