Overview
Adaptable Wireless Technology
The D-Link® Unified Wired/Wireless Switching solution
provides an innovative evolution in wireless LAN.
Complex installations, intricate management utilities
and limited scalability had previously made network
administrators hesitant to deploy facility-wide wireless
LAN. Now, D-Link Unified Wired/Wireless Switching
architecture simplifies installation. In addition, access
security, wireless throughput and network convergence
is significantly enhanced. Benefactors of this Wi-Fi®
innovation include IT integrators, network administrators,
business end-users, government organizations, schools,
hospitals, and hotspots such as convention halls, hotels
and airports.
The Unified Switch’s flexible architecture not only
includes physical deployment, but also offers effective
wireless traffic management capability. Data from the
clients can be configured to tunnel back to the Unified
Switch before reaching its destination. This approach
allows for a coordinated network control and centralized
security policy enforcement. Alternatively, Access Points
can handle and forward wireless traffic ideally without
having to go through the Unified Switch. This non-
tunnel mode is especially practical in remote offices or
applications that require high performance and optimized
traffic flows. The flexibility offered by D-Link Adaptable
Wireless technology empowers any organization to
enjoy the benefits of a wireless network.

Switching lies in a scalable and flexible architecture.
The Unified Switch can be easily added to the customer’s
existing network infrastructure and centrally manage
the Access Points. Overlay Deployment protects
the customer’s investment on the wired network,
while providing wireless LAN capability to the entire
organization. Furthermore, the Unified Switch can be
deployed at the network edge as a wireless controller
and an L2 edge switch. This type of edge deployment is
beneficial for customers looking to replace their current
switches with a more robust and full-featured product.
The D-Link Unified Switch is designed for medium-sized
to large wireless networks. This affordable solution
provides flexibility and investment protection through
scalable expansion and unified LAN/ WLAN deployment
and easy upgrades for future technologies through
Gigabit connectivity.
Profile configuration is applied to a wireless access point
when it is deployed or when it is reset. Profiles dispatched
from the switch to the AP include RADIUS server settings,
radio configuration, SSID, VLAN, tunnel settings, and
QoS configuration. Configuration is simplified because
the administrator does not have to make individual
settings for each AP. This enhances security because the
configuration is not saved within the AP, hence it cannot
be retrieved when an AP is dismounted or stolen.

DWS-3024 & DWL-8500AP
Unified Wired/Wireless Switching
Self-Healing and Load Balancing
Medium to Large Business Application
Capable of handling up to 48 access points, D-Link
Unified Wired/Wireless Switching is suitable for
D-Link DWS series switches offer Self-healing process
and an AP load balancing features to increase the
resiliency of a wireless network. To make up for a sudden
RF signal vacuum created by any “dead” AP (AP with DC
power failure), the switch automatically increases the
transmitter output power of all the neighboring APs to
expand their RF coverage, thereby “healing” the network
“wound”. “Self-healing” can also be accomplished with a
redundant switch, which can take over the management
of the AP if and when the AP loses connection with the
first switch. To ensure continuous connection for current
clients, the switch performs load balancing across the
access points when network traffic reaches a certain
threshold, while rejecting new client-to-AP associations
to avoid bandwidth overcrowding.
deployment in either
a
medium or large network
supporting VoIP and numerous mobile wireless
applications. A network site can begin with one switch
to manage a few APs or to use for mixed wired/wireless
LAN purposes. When the number of APs is augmented,
up to four switches in a peer-to-peer configuration
can be added to form a large centralized management
system capable of handling up to 192 access points in
one roaming group.
Network Visualization and Management
By entering the IP address of a managed switch or
into the Internet browser, administrators can view the
topological map and identify the locations of the AP and
the switch. The map displays AP icons and colors used to
differentiate between the different RF channels used by
the AP. Administrators can create individual user profiles
and be informed of any rogue APs. Users’ authentication
is based on profiles and not on any specific access point.
As users move around within a network, their movement
can be traced as they roam from one access point to
another.
Unified Switch Architecture
In addition to being the core unit of the wireless switching
system, the DWS-3024 switch can also function as an
advanced wired device. Features such as IP routing,
ACL, QoS, security features, and Gigabit/10-Gigabit fiber
support, allow businesses to integrate their enterprise
wireless networks with the wired network infrastructure.
The DWS-3024 Unified Switch can be used to upgrade
their current 10/100Mbps desktop connections to Gigabit
capability. Seamlessly upgrade to an 802.11n AP with
Gigabit connections in the future. The advantages
include flexibility to act as wireless controllers or
dedicated full-featured multi-layer LAN switches, or as
dual-role devices.
