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 conﬁgura-

tion of a multitude of security and

performance parameters, WM-ADs are a

simple and powerful approach to the

changing access challenges 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.

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 administra-

tor. 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.

AutoCell

Dynamic RF

Management

Summit WM series switches simplify setup

and operation through their extensive

dynamic RF management capabilities.

Dynamic RF management is enabled via

AutoCell technology (optional on the

Summit WM100). AutoCell automatically

optimizes RF coverage in an area, select-

ing 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

AutoCell, calibration and adjustment

automatically occur 24 hours a day,

eliminating the need to manually set or

tune power levels as conditions change.

Should an AP fail, AutoCell provides fault

tolerance by detecting the failure and

compensating by increasing output power

of the neighboring APs.

AutoCell 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. AutoCell is very stable

and does not “ﬂap” during operation—

meaning the WLAN remains available and

reliable even when RF conditions are

changing.

Plug and Play AP Installation

and Intuitive Management

Out-of-the-box AP installation is a breeze.

Using AccessAdapt™ technology, the

Altitude 350-2 APs automatically discover

the Summit WM switch and download

conﬁguration and operating parameters—

without any pre-conﬁguration of the AP.

After receiving conﬁguration information

and being provisioned with the appropri-

ate 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 is

very easy to add 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 switches communicate using IP,

designers do not need to conﬁgure

network-wide VLANs when installing the

wireless network.

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.

Wireless LAN systems have been difﬁcult to install, conﬁgure and operate. The Summit WM series provides a fresh

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

capabilities.

Example: Proﬁles using wireless mobility access

domains.
