With the ability to manage up to six wireless access points (upgradable to 24) anda maximum of 96 wireless access points in a Peer Group, the DWC-1000 is a cost-effectivemobility solution for small to medium-scale environments. Its auto-managed AP discoveryand single point management allow customers to acquire an enterprise class systemwithout the burden of executing massive and complex configurations. With a robust andcomprehensive security detection system, the DWC-1000 also enables managed APs toblock potential attacks from unauthorized users and devices, especially for wirelessenvironments.Robust and Optimized NetworkThe DWC-1000 features a self-organizing, self-optimizing, and self-healing networkcapability to increase the stability of the entire wireless network. With periodic radioscanning and performance analyzing, the DWC-1000 automatically adjusts radio channelsand power to avoid interference and keep the wireless network in an optimized state. Tomake up for a sudden RF signal vacuum created by any “dead” access point, theDWC-1000 will increase the transmit output power of neighboring access points to expandRF coverage.Comprehensive SecurityThe DWC-1000 provides a comprehensive wireless security solution for any network. On thewireless side, powered by a Wireless Instruction Detection System (WIDS), theDWC-1000 can detect rogue access points and rogue clients as well as anticipatewireless threats, preventing any potential damage and illegal access.
