Product Description

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. Scalable and Flexible Wireless Deployment The centerpiece of D-Link Unified Wired/Wireless Switching lies in a scalable and flexible architecture. The Unified Switch DWS-3024 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 DWS-3024 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 DWS-3024 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. Adaptable Wireless Technology The Unified Switch DWS-3024’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. Centralized Policy Control 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. Enhanced and Resilient Security The D-Link Unified Switch DWS-3024 provides the highest levels of security for both voice and data, with support for MAC Authentication, Captive Portal, and industry standard personal/enterprise WPA/WPA2 security. WPA2 utilizes the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is considered to be the most robust and secure encryption algorithm. The Unified Switch DWS-3024 also provides means to define and detect Rogue APs, preventing illegal intrusions into the internal network. Security can be pre-set and RF channels auto-adjusted for each AP, so when an AP is added or removed, the entire network does not have to be reconfigured. The switch will automatically configure the new AP with the same configuration as the previous units. Uninterrupted Wireless Connectivity The system maintains a centralized database of wireless user’s access information such as their MAC addresses and authentication keys. As wireless users roam around the office using wireless equipment, they may change their connection from AP to AP. By constantly monitoring the AP status, the switch can establish AP-to-AP roaming for these users without requiring them to re-establish authentication keys. This fast roaming process results in disruption-free, reliable wireless connectivity crucial for mobile applications such as Wi-Fi® IP phone and wireless PDA connection. In addition to updating information of APs managed by the same switch, the system also supports AP information updates across multiple peer switches. As a wireless user moves from one AP affiliated to a switch to another AP connected to another switch, inter-switch roaming is instantly performed across the peer switches to produce a smooth, fast wireless connection in a multi-departmental enterprise environment. Captive Portal Apart from the wireless encryption standards, the Unified Switch offers an additional level of security called “Captive Portal”. Captive Portal is a web-based authentication process in which the wire
