The Summit WM-Series Switch Software solution
Summit WM-Series WLAN Switch and Altitude Access Point Software Version 1.0 User Guide
16
Simplifying the Altitude APs makes them:
cost-effective
easy to manage
easy to deploy
Putting control on an intelligent centralized Summit WM-Series Switch enables:
centralized configuration, management, reporting, maintenance
high security
flexibility to suit enterprise
scalable and resilient deployments with a few Summit WM-Series Switches controlling hundreds of
Altitude APs
Here are some of the Summit WM-Series Switch Software system advantages:
Table 1: Advantages of the Summit WM-Series Switch Software system
Scales up to Enterprise capacity One Summit WM-Series Switch controls as many as 200 Altitude APs. In turn
each Altitude AP can handle up to 127 wireless devices. With additional
Summit WM-Series Switches, the number of wireless devices the system can
support is in the thousands.
Integrates in existing network A Summit WM-Series Switch can be added to an existing enterprise network as
a new network device, greatly enhancing its capability without interfering with
existing functionality. Integration of the Summit WM-Series Switches and
Altitude APs does not require any reconfiguration of the existing infrastructure
(e.g., VLANs).
Offers centralized
management and control
An administrator accesses the Summit WM-Series Switch in its centralized
location to monitor and administer the entire wireless network. The Summit
WM-Series Switch has functionality to recognize, configure, and manage the
Altitude APs and distribute new software releases.
Provides easy deployment
of Altitude APs
The initial configuration of the Altitude APs on the centralized Summit WM-
Series Switch can be done with an automatic “discovery” technique.
Provides security via user
authentication
Summit WM-Series Switch Software uses existing authentication (AAA) servers
to authenticate and authorize users.
Provides security via filters
and privileges
Summit WM-Series Switch Software uses virtual networking techniques to
create separate virtual networks with defined authentication and billing
services, access policies and privileges.
Supports seamless mobility
and roaming
Summit WM-Series Switch Software supports seamless roaming of a wireless
device from one Altitude AP to another on the same Summit WM-Series Switch
or on a different Summit WM-Series Switch.
Integrates third-party
access points
Summit WM-Series Switch Software can integrate legacy third-party access
points, using a combination of network routing and authentication techniques.
Prevents rogue devices Unauthorized access points will be detected and identified as harmless or
dangerous rogue APs.
Provides accounting services Summit WM-Series Switch Software logs wireless user sessions, user group
activity, and other activity reporting, enabling the generation of consolidated
billing records.
Offers troubleshooting capability Summit WM-Series Switch Software logs system and session activity and
provides reports to aid in troubleshooting analysis.
Offers dynamic RF management Summit WM-Series Switch Software can automatically select channels and
adjust Radio Frequency (RF) signal propagation power levels without user
intervention.
