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.

Wireless Security  
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.
