You are now ready to add the Altitude APs to the Summit WM-Series Switch Software system and

you will also need to assign the Altitude APs to a WM-AD.

Changes or modifications made to the Summit WM-Series Switch or the Altitude APs which are not expressly

approved by Extreme and/or the party responsible for compliance upon installation could void the user's authority to

operate the equipment.

Altitude AP features

The Altitude AP is a wireless LAN access point using the 802.11 wireless standards (802.11a, 802.11b

and 802.11g) for network communications. The Altitude AP bridges network traffic to an Ethernet LAN.

The Altitude AP is provided with proprietary software that allows it to communicate only with the

Summit WM-Series Switch.

The Altitude AP is physically connected to a LAN infrastructure and establishes an IP connection to a

Summit WM-Series Switch. The Altitude AP has no user interface. The only way to manage a Altitude

AP is through the Summit WM-Series Switch.

All communication with the Summit WM-Series Switch is carried out using a UDP-based protocol to

encapsulate IP traffic from the Altitude APs and direct it to the Summit WM-Series Switch. The Summit

WM-Series Switch decapsulates the packets and routes them to the appropriate destinations, while

managing sessions and applying policy.
