settings you configure in the profile are valid for all APs within the profile. Different hardware platforms might also require
different software images. As of Release 1.0, the D-Link Unified Switch supports only DWL-8600AP hardware type.
Figure 293: AP Hardware Capabilities
describes the fields available on the Profile page.
To add a new profile, go to the

In order to accommodate a broad range of wireless clients and wireless network requirements, the DWL-8600AP supports
two radios. Radio 1 can broadcast in one of the following modes:
•
IEEE
802.11a
mode
•
IEEE
802.11a
and IEEE 802.11n modes
•
5 GHz IEEE 802.11n mode
Radio 2 can broadcast in one of the following modes:
•
IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g modes
•
IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, and IEEE 802.11n modes
•
2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11n mode
You configure the default radio settings from the
WLAN > Basic Setup > Radio
tab, which the following figure shows.

Description
Hardware Type
ID
Select the hardware type for the APs that use this profile. The hardware type is determined, in part, by
the number of radios the AP supports (single or dual) and the IEEE 802.11 modes that the radio
supports (a/b/g or a/b/g/n). The option available in the Hardware Type ID is:
•
DWL-8600AP Dual Radio a/b/g/n
Wired Network
Discovery
VLAN ID
Enter the VLAN ID that the switch uses to send tracer packets in order to detect APs connected to the
wired network.
The tracer packets help the switch identify unauthorized APs that do not belong to the D-Link Unified
Access System but are connected to the wired network.
