Wireless Configuration - RF
Centralized Automatic RF Management
Automatically allocates access points channel and RF power based on each access point performance in the local environment. For example, if an
access point experiences interference on a channel, the Wireless Management System allocates a different channel to that access point.
Selectable Corporate Channel List for Auto
Channel Selection
For channel list, the administrator will be able to select what are the allowed corporate channels for 2.4GH and 5GHz band. The Channel allocator
will assign the access points within the corporate allowed channels.
RF Management Schedule
Channel allocation can be scheduled on a daily/weekly basis, once a day at a specified time
Client Aware RF Management
If enabled, the Wireless Management System will not modify the channel for an access point with associated clients that would be impacted by the
channel change. The Wireless Management System will wait for the next scheduled channel allocation to adjust the channel.
Usage-aware RF Management
If enabled, the Wireless Management System will not modify the channel for an access point that is switching more than 1 Mbps of wireless data traffic
Custom RF Settings
Radio mode preference and 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band selection for each access point group
Advanced Wireless Settings for Access
Point Groups
If centralized automatic RF management disabled, for each radio band (802.11 b/bg/ng and 802.11 a/na) the Wireless Management System can
centrally configure each access point group with common settings: turn radio on, wireless mode, MCS index/data rate, channel width (11n only),
guard interval (11n only), output power, RTS threshold (0-2347), fragmentation length (256-2346), beacon interval (100-1000), aggregation
length (1024-65535, 11n only), AMPDU (11n only), RIFS transmission (11n only), enable Wi-Fi Multimedia™ (WMM), DTIM interval (1 and
255), preamble type (11b/bg only), access point channel
Wireless Configuration - QOS
WMM Quality of Service
WMM automatically prioritizes traffic for both upstream traffic from the stations to the access points (station EDCA parameters) and downstream traffic
from the access points to the client stations (AP EDCA parameters). Basic QoS settings for all the access points or advanced QoS settings for each access
point group are available.
WMM Queues in Decreasing
Order of Priority
• Voice: The highest priority queue with minimum delay, which makes it ideal for applications like VOIP and streaming media
• Video: The second highest priority queue with low delay is given to this queue. Video applications are routed to this queue
• Best Effort: The medium priority queue with medium delay is given to this queue. Most standard IP application will use this queue
• Background: Low priority queue with high throughput. Applications, such as FTP, which are not time-sensitive but require high throughput can
use this queue.
WMM Power Save option
WMM Power Save helps conserve battery power in small devices such as phones, laptops, PDAs, and audio players using IEEE 802.11e mechanisms.
Max Number of Clients per Access Point
Allows the Wireless Management System to set maximum number of client’s limitation per access point or per radio – ensuring that no single
access point is overloaded continuously.
Wireless Configuration - Security
Security Profiles Lists
Up to eight (8) security profiles per radio can be configured for all the managed access points. If several access point groups have been defined,
then up to eight (8) security profiles per access point group can be centrally configured.
Security Profiles settings
Name, wireless network name (SSID), broadcast wireless network name, network authentication (open, Shared Key, legacy 801.1X WPA and
WPA2 with RADIUS, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), data encryption (none, WEP, TKIP, AES, TKIP+AES), Wireless client security
separation (wireless clients can't communicate each other), VLAN ID
MAC Authentication
Block the network access privilege of the specified stations through all managed access points or through one or several specific access point group.
Local MAC Address Database
The managed access points use the local MAC address table for access control.
Remote MAC Address Dabase (Radius)
The managed access points use the MAC address table on an external 802.1x Radius server on the LAN for access control.
801.1x RADIUS Server Settings
Four types of 801.x RADIUS server can be configured per access point group:
• Primary authentication server (main RADIUS server used for authentication)
• Secondary authentication server: for use if the primary authentication server fails or is unreachable
• Primary accounting server: used for accounting on the network
• Secondary accounting server: for use if the primary accounting server fails or is unreachable
Guest Access
Guest access settings are useful when configuring a public wireless network (preferably secured VLAN-SSID). The guest access
feature is not a captive portal. Guest access settings aim to:
• Redirect the user to a specified internal Guest web page, or external guest portal
• Allow users to enter simple information such as an email address
• Identify sessions and track usage
When guest access is configured, it redirects the first HTTP (TCP, port 80) request to the default guest access page. The last 512 IP access and
entered email address are recorded.
Rogue Access Point Detection
Unidentified access points that use the SSID of a legitimate network can present a serious security threat. Rogue access point detection is enabled
by default on all the managed access points. To detect rogue access points, the managed access points scan the wireless environment on all
available channels, looking for unidentified access points.
Wireless Network Monitoring
Monitoring Summary
Summary of the managed access points status, rogue access points detected, wireless stations connected, wireless management system
information and wireless network usage
Managed Access Point Status
Displays status for the managed access points and details per managed access point/group that includes configuration settings,
current wireless settings, current clients and current traffic statistics
Rogue Access Points
Basic status displays the count of rogue or neighboring access points discovered by the managed access points (instantly and in the last 24 hours):
• Rogue access points reported
• Rogue access points in same channel
• Rogue access points in interfering channels
