The xStack DWS-3227P is an integrated wired and wireless switching solution capable of providing powerful wireless security, easy deployment, the ability to detect rogue access points, and centralized management for all compatible WLAN components. The xStack DWS-3227P switch provides secure, seamless roaming between access points ensuring clear, uninterrupted data and voice communication throughout your wireless network infrastructure.

The xStack DWS-3227P is capable of centralized management of compatible wireless access points. No longer will each individual access point need to be configured independently. Now your entire wireless network can be managed through a single interface. The xStack DWS-3227P includes support for automatic discovery and configuration of APs with real-time monitoring, providing visibility into utilization and performance of WLAN users and devices.

The D-Link xStack DWS-3227P provides Enhanced Wireless Security Features to ensure your data is protected from hackers. Support for WEP, WPA and WPA2 Encryption guarantees the privacy of your network data. Rogue AP detection and containment ensure only the APs you install are able to function on your network. AP detection allows identification of APs into "known" and "rogue" classifications. The switch uses the APs to continuously scan radio channels in an attempt to identify transmissions of unauthorized WLAN nodes facilitating notification, tracing, and jamming of the rogue signals.

When a user roams between APs connected to different broadcast domains, the user's IP address is no longer valid after the move to the new AP. This means the user's device (laptop, PDA, VoIP phone) will need to change its IP address thus breaking the active session. With "always connected" devices such as VoIP phones and PDA's this can create a huge problem. The need for a solution to provide seamless roaming between APs on different subnets becomes essential to maintaining active sessions and VoIP calls.

The D-Link DWS-3227P addresses this problem by bringing AP configurations and support directly into the switch itself. This allows the user to move between access points (within a single stack of up to 32 DWS-3227P switches) with seamless mobility. To the user's PDA or VoIP phone, the move appears as if it were between APs on a single broadcast domain. This means the user's device will retain its VLAN membership and IP address guaranteeing uninterrupted communication.

This product comes standard with a 10 client AP license upgradeable to 25.
