D-Link DWS-1008 CLI Manual 1
The D-Link Mobility System is an enterprise-class WLAN solution that seamlessly integrates with an
existing wired enterprise network. The D-Link system provides secure connectivity to both wireless and
wired users in large environments such as office buildings, hospitals, and university campuses and in
small environments such as branch offices.
The D-Link Mobility System fulfills the three fundamental requirements of an enterprise WLAN: It eliminates
the distinction between wired and wireless networks, allows users to work safely from anywhere (secure
mobility), and provides a comprehensive suite of intuitive tools for planning and managing the network
before and after deployment, greatly easing the operational burden on IT resources.
