Out-of-the-box AP installation is a

breeze. Using AccessAdapt™ technol-

ogy, the Altitude 350-2 APs automati-

cally discover the Summit WM control-

ler and download conﬁguration and

operating parameters—without any

pre-conﬁguration of the AP. After

receiving conﬁguration information and

being provisioned with the appropriate

WM-ADs, APs begin broadcasting

multiple Service Set Identiﬁers (SSIDs)

to clients in the area. Technicians can

quickly add new APs to an existing

system without specialized WLAN

knowledge.

The Summit wireless mobility solution

very easily adds to existing IP networks

and wireless clients. Enterprises can

enjoy outstanding performance, high

security and seamless roaming without

needing to install and manage client

drivers. Since APs and controllers

communicate using IP, designers have

the option of not needing to conﬁgure

network-wide VLANs when installing

the wireless network. If desired,

however, VLANs can be used for trafﬁc

between the APs and the controller as

well as from the controller into the

switching network.

Dynamic Radio Management

(DRM)

Summit WM series controllers simplify

setup and operation through their

extensive DRM capabilities. DRM

(optional on Summit WM200) automati-

cally optimizes radio frequency coverage

in an area, selecting channels and

adjusting power levels to provide trouble-

free client connectivity while maximizing

coverage.

Keeping up with changes that affect

coverage can be a challenge. With DRM,

calibration and adjustment automatically

occur 24 hours a day, eliminating the

need to manually set or tune power levels

as conditions change. In addition, should

an AP fail, DRM provides fault tolerance

by detecting the failure and compensating

by increasing output power of the

neighboring APs.

DRM uses a distributed algorithm that

does not require a connection to a

centralized resource. As a result, branch

ofﬁce support is simpliﬁed and the

solution is highly scalable. DRM is very

stable and does not “ﬂap” during opera-

tion—meaning the WLAN remains

available and reliable even when radio

frequency conditions are changing.

Summit Wireless Mobility

Access Domains

Summit Wireless Mobility Access Domains

(WM-AD) help administrators easily

deﬁne proﬁles for different categories of

users, groups, devices or applications.

Compared to the other approaches that

require the conﬁguration of a multitude of

security and performance parameters,

WM-ADs are a simple and powerful

approach to the changing access chal-

lenges of the dynamic Enterprise. For

example, one Access Domain may be

developed for guest access, another for

Voice over Wireless LAN (VoWLAN)

handsets, and a third for secure employee

access (see Figure 1).

After the administrator has deﬁned

Access Domains for the different types of

users, each Access Domain is assigned to

one or more Altitude 350-2 APs. The

appropriate APs begin broadcasting

service availability. For example, an

Access Domain for guest access might be

advertised by the APs in the lobby only,

while a second Access Domain for

VoWLAN phones could be supported by

APs covering the factory ﬂoor.

From the user’s perspective, each Access

Domain will appear to be a standalone

virtual AP, available only at the locations

selected by the administrator. When a

user or device associates with one of

these virtual APs, the connection will be

governed by the associated Access

Domain parameters for authentication,

privacy, QoS and access to network

resources.

The theme of simplicity continues with

the intuitive Summit wireless mobility

graphical management interface. It offers

centralized conﬁguration and manage-

ment of users, devices, and applications

and can be accessed via a web browser

over the network or directly through a

management port on the system. The

interface provides remote performance

and session monitoring, statistics, status

monitoring, and reporting. The system

supports SSL, SNMP v2, FTP, RADIUS

accounting, statistics, syslog and Secure

Shell (SSH) interface.

For customers looking for increased

operational efﬁciencies,

Extreme Networks uniquely offers its

EPICenter

network management

platform for managing Summit WM

systems as well as Extreme’s stackable

and modular switching products. With

EPICenter, administrators can discover

and view Extreme’s network products,

receive traps and alarms, view topology

and inventory, and generate comprehen-

sive reports.

WLAN systems have been difﬁcult to install, conﬁgure and operate. Summit WM series controllers provide a fresh

approach to managing the complexity of conﬁguring and operating wireless networks through a number of unique

capabilities.
