Central WiFiManager
CWM-100
Central WiFiManager is D-Link’s latest tool to help network administrators streamline their
wireless access point management workow. Central WiFiManager is an innovative approach
to the more traditional hardware-based multiple access point management system and
uses a centralised server to both remotely manage and monitor wireless access points on a
network. Whether deployed on a local computer or hosted on a public cloud service, Central
WiFiManager can be easily integrated into existing networks in conjunction with supporting
D-Link wireless access points, to help eliminate existing bottlenecks for wireless trac.
Extendable, Aordable Business Wireless Solution
Designed from the ground up as a standalone software controller, D-Link Central WiFiManager
is exible, robust, and feature rich. It comes ready to run with many enhanced enterprise
wireless access point (AP) features to provide a solid wireless network system for customers
who need a centralised management controller. Central WiFiManager can be deployed onto
a server running Microsoft Windows
2
and can manage up to 500 APs

without an additional
license charges. Central WiFiManager currently supports 6 dierent models of D-Link Access
Points

Robust Security and Management Tools
Central WiFiManager supports multi-site deployment management as well as multi-tenancy
management. This allows network administrators to provide dierent management authorities
between head and regional oces, and allows service providers to oer a managed wireless
network for their customers. Sites can be logically separated with their own conguration,
access security, network map, and statistics. For example, a network operations manager could
pre-congure APs before dispatching them to regional oces. He can then manage all of the
APs on an enterprise intranet, while allowing local administrators to manage APs that are only
present on their local network. The service provider can simply send a pre-congured AP to
a customer and then remotely manage the customer’s wireless network access and security.
