To greatly reduce the risk of physical injury, electrical shock, fire, and damage to equipment, observe the following precautions.

Observe and follow service markings.

• Do not attempt to service any product, except when it is explained in the system's documentation.
• Opening or removing covers that are marked with this (△) symbol may expose the user to electrical shock.
• Only a trained service technician should service components inside these compartments.

If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the electrical outlet immediately and replace the part or contact your trained service provider:

• Damage to the power cable, extension cable, or plug.
• An object has fallen into the product.
• The product has been exposed to water.
• The product has been dropped or damaged.
  • The product does not operate correctly when the operating instructions are correctly followed.

General safety cautions:

• Keep the system away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling vents.
• Do not spill food or liquids on system components, and never operate the product in a wet environment. If the system gets wet contact your trained service provider.
• Do not push any objects into the openings of the system. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
• Only use this product with approved equipment.
• Allow the product to cool before removing the cover or touching internal components.
• Operate the product only from the type of external power source indicated on the electrical ratings label. If unsure of the type of power source required, consult your service provider or local power company.
• Be sure that attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available in your location.
• Use only approved power cable(s). If you have not been provided with a power cable for your system or for any AC-powered option intended for your system, purchase a power cable that is approved for use in your country. The power cable must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current marked on the product's electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cable should be greater than the ratings marked on the product.
• To help prevent electric shock, plug the system and peripheral power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If using an extension cable is necessary, use a 3-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
• Observe the extension cable and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all products plugged into the extension cable or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the ampere ratings limit for the extension cable or power strip.
• To help protect the system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
• Position system cables and power cables carefully. Route cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on any cables.

- Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site modifications. Always follow your local or national wiring rules.

When connecting or disconnecting power to and from hot-pluggable power supplies, observe the following guidelines:

• Install the power supply before connecting the power cable to the power supply.
- Unplug the power cable before removing the power supply.
- If the system has multiple sources of power, disconnect power from the system by unplugging all power cables from the power supplies.
- Move products with care and ensure that all casters and stabilizers are firmly connected to the system. Avoid sudden stops and uneven surfaces.

To help avoid damage to the system, be sure that the voltage selection switch, on the power supply, is set to match the power available at the switch's location:

• 115V/60Hz is used mostly in North and South America as well as Far Eastern countries like as South Korea and Taiwan
  • 100V/50Hz is used mostly in Eastern Japan and 100V/60Hz in Western Japan
  • 230V/50Hz is used mostly in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Far East

General Precautions for Rack-Mountable Products

Please pay careful attention to the following precautions concerning rack stability and safety. Systems are considered to be components in a rack. Thus, a component refers to any system, as well as to various peripherals or supporting hardware.

CAUTION: Installing systems in a rack without the front and side stabilizers installed could cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in serious injury. After installing system/components in a rack, never pull more than one component out of the rack on its slide assemblies at one time. The weight of more than one extended component could cause the rack to tip over and may result in serious injury.

• Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to the rack, extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple racks before working on the rack.
  • Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first.
  • Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the rack.
• Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a component into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.
• After a component is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking position, and then slide the component into the rack.
• Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.
• Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack.
• Do not step on or stand on any component when servicing other components in a rack.

CAUTION: Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if uncertain that suitable grounding is available.

CAUTION: The system chassis must be positively grounded to the rack cabinet frame. Do not attempt to connect power to the system until grounding cables are connected. Completed power and safety ground wiring must be inspected by a qualified electrical inspector. An energy hazard will exist if the safety ground cable is omitted or disconnected.

Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside the system. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before touching any of the electronic components, such as the microprocessor. This can be done by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis.

The following steps can also be taken prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):

1. When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing material until ready to install the component in the system. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
2. When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.
3. Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads, workbench pads and an antistatic grounding strap.

This LED will be off when no SD card is plugged into the SD port. This LED will light solid red when an SD card failure has been detected.
Link/Act LEDs	This LED will light solid green when there is a secure connection to a 1000Mbps Ethernet device at any of the ports. This LED will light solid orange when there is a secure connection to a 10/100Mbps Ethernet device at any of the ports. This LED will blink green when a 1000Mbps port is active, or blink orange when a 10/100Mbps port is active. This LED will be off when there is no link or activity.
PoE LED Mode (DWS-3160-24PC Only)	This LED will light solid green when the port is feeding power to the PoE devices plugged in. This LED will light solid orange when the port is in an error condition state. This LED will be off when the port is not supplying power to the device plugged in. After the pressing the 'Mode' button, only the port LEDs, that feed power, will be lit.

Rear Panel Description

The Rear panel of the Switch consists of a power connector and an outlet for an external redundant power supply.

Figure 1-5. Rear panel view of the DWS-3160-24TC

Figure 1-6. Rear panel view of the DWS-3160-24PC

Connect the one end of the power cord supplied to the power connector and the other end into a properly grounded electrical outlet. The Switch will automatically adjust the power setting to adapt to any voltage supply in the range from

100\~240VAC at 50\~60Hz.

In addition, an optional external Redundant Power Supply (DPS-200 for the DWS-3124-24TC and DPS-700 for the DWS-3124-24PC) can be plugged into the connector displayed above. When the internal power fails, this optional external RPS will take over all the power immediately and automatically.

In the event that a power failure might occur in the environment and no UPS is used, as a precaution, unplug the power cord from the Switch. After the return of power, you can plug the power cord back into the Switch's power connector.

Side Panel Description

The Side panel of the Switch consists out of heat and fan vents that are used to dissipate heat. Do not block these openings. Leave at least 4 inches of space at the rear and sides of the Switch for proper ventilation. Be reminded that without proper heat dissipation and air circulation, system components might overheat, which could lead to system failure or even severely damage components.

This section will discuss the hardware installation guidelines that the user must follow in order to properly and safely install this Switch into the appropriate environment.

• Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is fully secured to both the power connector, on the Switch, and the electrical outlet, that supplies power.
• Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place within the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.
• Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators such as motors, vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.

Installing the Switch without a Rack

This section is used to guide the user through installing the Switch in an area other than a switch rack. Attach the rubber feet included to the bottom of the Switch. Take note that there should be marked blocks on the bottom of the Switch to indicate where to attach the rubber feet. These marking are usually found at each bottom corner of the device. The rubber feet cushion the Switch, protecting the casing from scratches and preventing it from scratching other surfaces.

Figure 2-1. Prepare the Switch for installation on a desktop or shelf

Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support the weight of the Switch (see the Appendix section for the weight specifications of each Switch). Do not place any heavy objects on the Switch. The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the Switch.

Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the Switch. Leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space at the front and rear of the Switch for ventilation.

Installing the Switch into a Rack

This section is used to guide the user through installing the Switch into a switch rack. The Switch can be mounted in a standard 19"(1U) rack using the provided mounting brackets. Use the following diagram as a guide.

Figure 2-2. Fasten mounting brackets on the Switch

Fasten the mounting brackets supplied to the sides of the Switch using the screws provided. With the brackets attached securely, the Switch can be mounted in a standard rack, as shown below.

Figure 2-3. Installing the Switch in a rack

Make sure that there is adequate space around the Switch to allow for proper air flow, ventilation, and cooling.

Installing SFP transceivers into the SFP Ports

The Switch is equipped with small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports (otherwise known as Mini-GBIC ports) that can be used to connect various other networking devices to this Switch that do not support the standard copper wiring connection. These ports are generally used to connect this Switch to networking devices that can only be accessed via an optical fiber connection and is normally used for a connection that spans greater distances. The maximum distance that the copper wiring connection can reach is 100 meters. Fiber optic connections can span over several kilometers.

The figure below illustrates how to properly insert SFP transceivers into the Switch's SFP ports.

Figure 2-4. Inserting SFP transceivers into the Switch's SFP ports

A complete list of SFP transceivers, compatible with this Switch, can be found in the Appendix section, at the end of this document.

Connecting to a Redundant Power Supply

This Switch can be connected to the Redundant Power Supply (RPS) using either a 14-pin DC power cable or a 22-pin DC power cable. A standard, three-pronged AC power cable connects to the redundant power supply and the main power source to provide power to the RPS. The external redundant power supply is only used when the internal power supply fails. After the internal power supply fails, the external RPS will immediately take over the power supplying duties to the Switch automatically.

Please note that every Switch within this series will make use of a specific RPS.

The DWS-3160-24TC must be used together with the DPS-200 Redundant Power Supply or an equivalent RPS. The DWS-3160-24PC must be used together with the DPS-700 Redundant Power Supply or an equivalent RPS.

Redundant Power Supply, the DPS-200

The D-Link, DPS-200, External Redundant Power Supply, provides a backup power solution to the DWS-3160-24TC Switch in the event that the Internal Power Supply fails. The DPS-200 is a standalone, low-cost, simple solution that can prevent the Switch from shutting down when the Internal Power Supply fails. This option is imperative when the availability of this Switch on the network is of high importance.

Switch to an Access Point directly

Switch to an End Node

End node is a generic name for edge networking devices that will be connected to this Switch. Typical examples of end nodes are Personal Computers (PCs), Notebooks, Access Points, Print Servers, VoIP Phones and more. Each end node will be outfitted with a 10/100/1000Mbps, RJ-45, networking port. Normally end nodes will connect to this Switch by using a standard twisted-pair, UTP/STP, network cable. Any one of the networking ports, found on this Switch, can be used to connect to an end node. After a successful connection, the corresponding Link/Act light will illuminate and blink to indicate that packet activity is taking place on that port.

The diagram below display a typical end node connected to the Switch.

Figure 3-1. Connecting the Switch to an end node

Switch to another Switch

Another popular configuration is to connect this Switch to another Switch or Hub. This network typography is considered when one Switch does not have enough ports to cater for all the end nodes in the network. There is a great deal of flexibility in the type of cabling that can be used to interlink switches. The copper ports support cables like Categories 3, 4, 5, and 5e running on standards like 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T. Two or more Switches can also be interlinked using fiber-optic cables via the Switch's SFP ports.

Figure 3-2. Connecting a Switch to another switch

Switch to a Server

When configuring a network, users will most likely have to add a Server or two to this Switch. Generally, any port on this Switch can be used to connect to a Server, as they all operate at a maximum speed of one Gigabit per second. What sets this Switch apart is the fact that there are powerful software applications available on this Switch that specifically caters for better Server access, management and security.

Figure 3-3. Connecting the Switch to a server

Switch to an Access Point directly

This Switch can be used to connect to Wireless Access Points (like the DWL-8600AP, DWL-3600AP, and DWL-6600AP) to manage, configure and monitor them. An Access Point can either be configured as a Standalone or a Managed Access Point. For the Unified System to function at optimal performance and flexibility, it is more feasible to configure the Access Point to function as a Managed Access Point. This means that the Switch will manage the Access Point.

Management Options

This Switch series provides multiple access platforms that can be used to configure, manage and monitor networking features available on this Switch. Currently there are three management platforms available and they are described below.

The Command Line Interface (CLI) through the Serial Port or remote Telnet

This Switch can be managed, out-of-band, by using the console port on the front panel of the Switch. Alternatively, the Switch can also be managed, in-band, by using a Telnet connection to any of the Copper/SFP ports in this Switch. The command line interface provides complete access to all Switch management features.

SNMP-based Management

The Switch can be managed with an SNMP-compatible console program. The Switch supports SNMP version 1.0, version 2.0 and version 3.0. The SNMP agent decodes the incoming SNMP messages and responds to requests with MIB objects stored in the database. The SNMP agent updates the MIB objects to generate statistics and counters.

Web-based Management Interface

After successfully installing the Switch, the user can configure the Switch, monitor the LED panel, and display statistics graphically using a Web browser, such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer (version 5.5 and later), Mozilla Firefox (version 2.0 and later), Safari (version 4.0 and later), and Google Chrome (version 6.0 and later).

Connecting to the Console Port

The front panel of the Switch provides a port that enables a connection to a computer monitoring and configuring the Switch. The console port is an RJ-45 port and requires a special cable that is included with the Switch, to establish the physical connection.

To use the console port, the following equipment is needed:

• A terminal or a computer with both an RS-232 serial port and the ability to emulate a terminal.
• A console cable with a male DB-9 connector on one end and an RJ-45 connection on the other. This cable should be included with the Switch. It establishes the physical connection to the console port.

Using a terminal to connect to the console port:

Connect the male DB-9 connector on the console cable (shipped with the Switch) to the RS-232 serial port on the computer running terminal emulation software then insert the RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 console port on the front of the Switch.

Set the terminal emulation software as follows:

• Select the appropriate serial port (COM1 or COM2).
• Set the data rate to 115200 baud.
• Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
• Set flow control to none.

Figure 4- 1. COM1 Properties

• Under Properties, select VT100 for Emulation mode.
• Select Terminal keys for Function, Arrow and Ctrl keys. Make sure to use Terminal keys (not Windows keys) are selected.

NOTE: When using HyperTerminal with the Microsoft® Windows® 2000 operating system, ensure that Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or later is installed. Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 allows use of arrow keys in HyperTerminal's VT100 emulation. See www.microsoft.com for information on Windows 2000 service packs.

Figure 4-2. Connection Properties

After correctly configuring the terminal, plug the power cable into the power receptacle on the back of the Switch. The boot sequence will appear in the terminal.

After the boot sequence has been completed, the console login screen will be displayed.

Connecting to the Switch for the first time

The Switch supports user-based security that can allow prevention of unauthorized users from accessing the Switch or changing its settings. This section will explain how to log into the Switch's Command Line Interface via the out-of-band console connection.

Upon initial connection to the Switch, the login screen appears (see example below).

UserName:
PassWord:

DWS-3160-24PC:admin# 

Figure 4-4. The Switch's Login Screen

By default, there is no Username and Password configured in the account settings of this Switch. This will allow the user to simply connect to this Switch for the first time by pressing the 'Enter' key twice.

After press Enter for both the Username and Password fields, access will be given to enter commands after the command prompt (DWS-3160-24PC:admin#) appears.

NOTE: The first user automatically gets Administrator level privileges. At least one Admin-level user account must be created for the Switch.

Creating a User Account

As you will have noticed by now is that this Switch does not have a default username and password. One of the first and most important tasks will be to create user accounts. Logging in using a predefined administrator-level username will give the user privileged access to the Switch's management software. Also this will prevent unauthorized access to the Switch, and record the passwords for future reference.

An example to create an administrator-level account for the Switch called 'NewUser':

DWS-3160-24PC:admin#create account admin NewUser
Command: create account admin NewUser

Enter a case-sensitive new password:*****
Enter the new password again for confirmation:*****
Success.

DWS-3160-24PC:admin# 

Figure 4-5. To create a user account

1. At the CLI command prompt, enter the 'create account admin NewUser' command and press 'Enter'. This will create a new administrator-level account called 'NewUser'.
2. The Switch will then prompt the user to enter a password. Enter the password for the administrator account and press the 'Enter' key.
3. The Switch will again prompt the user to enter the same password again to verify it. Enter the same password and press the 'Enter' key.
4. A "Success" response message will be displayed, by the Switch, to verify the successful creation of the new administrator-level account.

NOTE: Passwords are case sensitive. User names and passwords can be up to 15 characters in length.

Configuring the IP Address

Each Switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with an SNMP network manager or other TCP/IP applications. The Switch's default IP address is 10.90.90.90. You can change the Switch's default IP address to fit into your networking address range.

The Switch is also assigned a unique MAC address by the factory. This MAC address cannot be changed, and can be found by entering the command "show switch" into the command line interface, as shown below.

DWS-3160-24PC:admin#show switch
Command: show switch

Device Type : DWS-3160-24PC Gigabit Ethernet Switch
MAC Address : 00-11-22-33-45-67

CTRL+C ESC q Quit SPACE n Next Page ENTER Next Entry a All 

Figure 4-6. The 'show switch' command

The IP address of the Switch must be configured before it can be managed, by the user, via the Web User Interface.

An example to change the IP address of the Switch to '10.90.90.90', using a subnet mask of '255.0.0.0':

DWS-3160-24PC:admin#config ipif System ipaddress 10.90.90.91/8
Command: config ipif System ipaddress 10.90.90.91/8
Success.
DWS-3160-24PC:admin# 

Figure 4-7. To change the IP address

1. At the CLI command prompt, enter the 'config ipif System ipaddress 10.90.90.91/8' command and press 'Enter'. This will change the IP address of the Switch to 10.90.90.91.
2. Also notice the subnet mask's notation method. Here we use the value '/8' which means that the subnet mask will be change to 255.0.0.0 using the CIDR notation.
3. Alternatively, if you don't know the CIDR notation for your subnet mask, you can also simply type out the subnet mask. For example: 'config ipif System ipaddress 10.90.90.91/255.0.0.0'.

The Switch can now be configured and accessed using Telnet or the Web-based management. The Switch's IP address can also automatically be obtained by using the BOOTP or DHCP protocol.

Connecting using SNMP

The Switch can be managed with an SNMP-compatible console program. The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) operates on the Application Layer of the OSI model and is designed specifically for managing and monitoring network devices. The SNMP agent decodes the incoming SNMP messages and responds to requests with MIB objects stored in the database. The SNMP agent updates the MIB objects to generate statistics and counters.

D-Link provides a professional network management software package, called D-View 6.0 that uses SNMP to connect, configure, manage and monitor this Switch. The D-View ^® 6.0 SNMP Network Management System is a software tool that facilitates the central administration of a network with various SNMP-enabled devices.

Figure 4-8. D-Link's D-View SNMP Software

Managed devices that support SNMP include software (referred to as an agent), which runs locally on the device. A defined set of variables (managed objects) is maintained by the SNMP agent and used to manage the device. These objects are defined in a Management Information Base (MIB), which provides a standard presentation of the information controlled by the on-board SNMP agent. SNMP defines both the format of the MIB specifications and the protocol used to access this information over the network.

This Switch supports SNMP Versions 1, 2c, and 3 alternatively known as SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3. The administrator may specify which version of SNMP to use to monitor and control the Switch. The three versions of SNMP vary in the level of security provided between the management station and the network device.

In SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c, user authentication is accomplished using 'community strings', which function like passwords. The remote user SNMP application and the Switch's SNMP must use the same community string. SNMP packets from any station that has not been authenticated are ignored (dropped).

The default community strings for the Switch used for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c are:

• public - Allows authorized management stations to retrieve MIB objects.
- private - Allows authorized management stations to retrieve and modify MIB objects.

DWS-3160-24PC:admin# show snmp community
Command: show snmp community

Community Name View Name Access Right

private CommunityView read_write

Total Entries: 2

DWS-3160-24PC:admin# 

Figure 4-9. To view the SNMP community strings

SNMPv3 uses a more sophisticated authentication process that is separated into two parts.

1. The first part is to maintain a list of users and their attributes that are allowed to act as SNMP managers.
2. The second part describes what each user on that list can do as an SNMP manager.

The Switch allows groups of users to be created and configured with a shared set of privileges. The SNMP version may also be configured for a specific group of SNMP managers. A group of SNMP managers can be created to view read-only information or to receive traps using SNMPv1 while assigning a higher level of security to another group, granting read/write privileges using SNMPv3.

Using SNMPv3, individual users or groups of SNMP managers can be allowed to perform or be restricted from performing specific SNMP management functions. The functions allowed or restricted are defined using the Object Identifier (OID) associated with a specific MIB. An additional layer of security is available for SNMPv3 in which SNMP messages may be encrypted.

Traps

Traps are messages that alert network personnel of events that occur on the Switch. The events can be as serious as a reboot (someone accidentally turned OFF the Switch), or less serious like a port status change. The Switch generates traps and sends them to the trap recipient (or network manager). Typical traps include trap messages for Authentication Failure, Topology Change and Broadcast/Multicast Storm.

Management Information Base (MIB)

The Management Information Base (MIB) stores management and counter information. The Switch uses the standard MIB-II Management Information Base module. Consequently, values for MIB objects can be retrieved from any SNMP-based network management software. In addition to the standard MIB-II, the Switch also supports its own proprietary enterprise MIB as an extended Management Information Base. The proprietary MIB may also be retrieved by specifying the MIB Object Identifier. MIB values can be either read-only or read-write.

Connecting using the Web User Interface

All software functions of the Switch can be managed, configured, and monitored via the embedded Web-based (HTML) interface. This can be done from any remote station on the network through a standard web browser, such as Internet Explorer (version 5.5 and later), Mozilla Firefox (version 2.0 and later), Safari (version 4.0 and later), or Google Chrome (version 6.0 and later). The browser acts as a universal access tool and can communicate directly with the Switch using the HTTP protocol.

All the software features that can be configured using the Command Line Interface can also be configured using the Web User Interface. The Web User Interface is thus an alternative configuration method for the lesser analytical users.

Logging onto the Web Manager

To access the Web User Interface the user simply runs the standard web browser and enter the Switch's IP address into the address bar of the browser and press the 'Enter' key.

Figure 4-10. Displays entering the IP address in Internet Explorer

NOTE: The factory default IP address is 10.90.90.90.

This will open the user authentication window, as seen below.

Figure 4-11. Enter Network Password window

As there is no default User name or Password, click OK to proceed. This will open the Web-based User Interface. The Switch management features available in the Web-based manager are explained below.

Areas of the User Interface

After a successful connection to the Web User Interface has been made, the following page should be displayed.

Figure 4-12. Main Web Manager window

On this page we will find three main areas to observe.

Area Number Function
AREA 1	This area is divided up into two main sections. The LAN section can be used to configure anything that is related to the Ethernet network segments. The WLAN section can be used to configure anything that is related to the Wireless LAN segments. Both sections have Folder links that can be expanded and both sections have Window links that will navigate the user to a specific feature's configuration page. This can be done by simply click on them with the mouse pointer.

Click Apply to accept the change made.
AREA 3	This area is where the magic really happens. After clicking on a Window link, in Area 1, this area will display the configuration page for the specific features that can be configured or monitored.

Chapter 5 D-Link Unified Access System

D-Link Unified Access System Components D-Link Unified Access System Topology

The D-Link Unified Access System 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 roaming for end users.

D-Link Unified Access System Components

The D-Link Unified Access System components include the D-Link Unified Switch and the D-Link Access Point (AP).

With the default D-Link License Management Service (DLMS) agreement, this Switch can manage up to 12 unified Access Points. After an optional upgrade of the license agreement, purchased from D-Link, this Switch can manage up to 48 unified Access Points per unified Switch. The most powerful feature of this Switch is that up to 4 Switches can form a cluster to manage up to 192 unified Access Points centrally with a single IP address.

The switch tracks the status and statistics for all associated WLAN traffic and devices. You can configure up to 4 peer D-Link Unified Switches that share various information about APs and their associated wireless clients. The peer Unified Switches can be directly connected to each other, separated by Layer 2 bridges, or located in different IP Subnets. Wireless clients can roam among the access points managed by peer Unified Switches without losing network connections. Whether or not you have a peer group, the D-Link Unified Access System can support a total of 8000 wireless clients

D-Link Unified Switch

The D-Link Unified Switch handles Layer 2+ switching functions for traffic on the wired and wireless LAN. The Unified Switch user interface allows you to configure and monitor all AP settings and maintain a consistent configuration among all APs in the network.

The Unified Switch supports advanced data path connectivity, mobility control, security safeguards, control over radio and power parameters, and management features for both network and element control. The Unified Switch allows you to control the discovery, validation, authentication, and monitoring of peer Unified Switches, D-Link Access Points, and clients on the WLAN, including discovery and status of rogue APs and clients.

The D-Link Unified Access System works with the following D-Link switches:

• DWS-3160-24TC
• DWS-3160-24PC

D-Link Access Point

The D-Link Access Point can operate in one of two modes: Standalone Mode or Managed Mode.

• In Standalone Mode, the D-Link Access Point acts as an individual access point in the network, and you manage it by connecting to the AP and using the Administrator Web User Interface (UI) or Command Line Interface (CLI).
• In Managed Mode, the D-Link Access Point is part of the D-Link Unified Access System, and you manage it by using the D-Link Unified Switch. If an AP is in Managed Mode, the Administrator Web UI services on the AP are disabled. Access is limited to the CLI through Telnet.

The Standalone Mode is appropriate for small networks with only a few APs. The Managed Mode is useful for any size network. If you start out with D-Link Access Points in Standalone Mode, you can easily transition the APs to Managed Mode when you add a Unified Switch to the network. By using the AP in Managed Mode, you can centralize AP

management and streamline the AP upgrade process by pushing configuration profiles and software upgrades from the Unified Switch to the managed APs. The Web UI Reference Guide and the CLI Reference Guide primarily describes the D-Link Access Point in Managed Mode.

The D-Link Unified Access System works with the following D-Link access points:

• DWL-3600AP
• DWL-8600AP
• DWL-6600AP

Each access point supports up to eight virtual access points (VAPs) on each radio. The VAP feature allows you to segment each physical access point into eight logical access points (per radio) that each supports a unique SSID, VLAN ID, and security policy.

WLAN Visualization

The D-Link Unified Access System includes the WLAN Visualization tool, which provides a graphical representation of your wireless network through a Web browser. WLAN Visualization detects and displays the D-Link Unified Switch, D-Link Access Points, other access points, and all wireless clients associated with the D-Link Access Point. You can import information about your building layout to customize the network view.

The figure below shows an example of a floor plan and network with a D-Link Unified Switch that manages two APs. The graph also shows a peer switch and a rogue AP in the network.

Figure 5-1 WLAN Visualization

The WLAN Visualization tool provides an AP power display with color-coded channels to help you determine where to physically place access points to reduce interference or increase coverage on your WLAN.

D-Link Unified Access System Topology

The WLAN network topology you use depends on the size and requirements of your network. Small-to-medium networks might require only one Unified Switch that manages a few D-Link Access Points. For larger networks that need greater roaming capabilities for wireless clients, a deployment with multiple peer switches that each manages several APs might be appropriate.

Single Unified Switch Deployment

When you deploy a D-Link Access Point, the D-Link Unified Switch can automatically detect the AP and assign a default profile, which includes automatic RF channel selection and automatic power adjustment.

Figure 5-2 One Unified Switch with Three APs

When the APs are on the same subnet and have the same SSID, wireless clients can seamlessly roam among the three APs with no interruption in network access. The client keeps the same IP address and does not need to re-authenticate when it moves into the broadcast area of a different AP. Configuration changes to the APs are managed by the switch simultaneously or on a per-AP basis.

Peer Unified Switch Deployment

To support larger networks, you can configure up to four switches as peers, which increases the size and range of the WLAN. The Unified Switch and the APs it manages do not need to be on the same subnet.

Figure 5-3 Unified Access System Deployment with 3 Unified Switches

Peer Unified Switches share information about APs and allow Layer 3 roaming among them. To support this, peer Unified Switches establish IPv4 tunnels so that the wireless client keeps the same IP address even when the client associates with an access point in a different subnet. The Layer 3 roaming service allows wireless phone users to roam between access points connected to different subnets without dropping calls.
