DWS-1008 User’s Manual
D-Link Systems, Inc.
Please read the following before you begin:
Mobility System Software* (MSS) operates a D-Link Mobility System wireless LAN (WLAN)
consisting of DWS-1008 switches, and DWL-8220AP access points (AP). MSS has a
command-line interface (CLI) on the switch that you can use to configure and manage the
switch and its attached access points.
You configure the DWS-1008 switch and DWL-8220AP access points primarily with set,
clear, and show commands. Use set commands to change parameters. Use clear commands
to reset parameters to their defaults. In many cases, you can overwrite a parameter with
another set command. Use show commands to display the current configuration and monitor
the status of network operations.
* The Mobility System Software is built-in to the firmware on the DWS-1008 switch. No additional software is
required.
The switch supports two connection modes:
• Administrative access mode, which enables the network administrator to connect to
the switch and configure the network.
• Network access mode, which enables network users to connect through the switch
to access the network.
The D-Link Mobility System consists of the following components:
• DWS-1008 switch - Distributed, intelligent machines for managing user connectivity,
connecting and powering DWL-8220AP access points, and connecting the WLAN to
the wired network backbone.
• DWL-8220AP access points - Wireless access points (APs) that transmit and receive
radio frequency (RF) signals to and from wireless users and connect them to a
DWS-1008 switch.
• Mobility System Software™ (MSS™) - The operating system (firmware) that runs
all D-Link DWS-1008 switches and DWL-8220AP access points in a WLAN, and is
accessible through a command-line interface (CLI) or the Web View interface.
