For managing all APs and your network, order:
SmartPath Enterprise Management System (EMS)
The SmartPath Enterprise Management System (EMS) brings best-in-
class management to a distributed WLAN system comprising several or
hundreds of SmartPath APs.
Once plugged in, each SmartPath AP automatically joins the network
and contacts the EMS using the secure CAPWAP-DTLS protocol.
Configuration data is then pushed from the EMS to the newly installed
access points for true plug-and-play installation.
What’s more, the SmartPath EMS provides centralized control without
being actively involved in passing traffic or making forwarding decisions.
This way, you get advanced administrative control without creating the
traffic bottlenecks seen with some controller-based wireless solutions.
Provides complete SmartPath WLAN visualization.
This GUI platform enables you to manage the entire SmartPath system
from a user-friendly GUI console. It features a customizable dashboard
and gives you advanced functionality without unnecessary complexity.
Use it to monitor, upgrade, troubleshoot, and more.
Network maps enable you to see topology and status of APs,
and real-time heat maps show RF propagation within your enterprise.
The EMS detects both authorized and rogue WLAN clients and access
points, and places them on a map.
Screens also feature details related to SLA compliance and statistics
for reporting purposes. Configuration audit capabilities ensure that all
configurations are up to date, and you can set up real-time monitoring
of alarms and events from all APs.
Group policy and per-user policy enforcement.
Group policy functions automatically create wireless profiles for your
users. Whenever a new laptop user joins the domain, wireless access is
available quickly.
You can also configure Active Directory for per-user policy
enforcement. Supporting up to 64 policy configurations per an SSID,
the system enables you to set up wireless access by user.
Also keep data secure by restricting guests to the Internet while
allowing employees to connect to the Internet and your private network.
You can even set it up so an authorized employee can create guest
network accounts via the EMS.
Two options: Manage from a cloud or an appliance.
The SmartPath EMS, Cloud-Based version gives you either a 1-year
(LWN600CM-1) or a 3-year subscription (LWN600CM-3) for managing
one SmartPath AP. On-line management makes it easy to start small and
add users to your network as you grow. And with no hardware device
to install, configure, or patch, you can manage it from anywhere.
SmartPath on-line is hosted within secure Tier IV SAS 70 Type II data
centers, with scheduled backups and disaster recovery capabilities and
24/7 monitoring. None of your traffic traverses the hosted service’s
network, so your data is kept private and secure.
For larger networks, you may prefer to use the SmartPath EMS
Appliance (LWN600MA). It supports up to 2000 APs and is typically
located within your facility. When using the appliance, you need to
purchase a one-time perpetual license (LWN600MLA-1) for each AP.
