Features and benefits
Management
•
Wi-Fi Clear Connect
Provides a system-wide approach to improving WLAN reliability by proactively determining
and adjusting to changing RF conditions; helps optimize WLAN performance by mitigating
interference from Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi sources—using spectrum analysis capabilities built into
the APs, identifying rogue activity, and making decisions at a system-wide level
•
Advanced RRM
– Automatic radio power adjustments
Include real-time power adjustments, based on changing environmental conditions, and
signal coverage adjustment
– Automatic radio channel
Provides intelligent channel switching and real-time interference detection
– Intelligent client load balancing
Determines the number of clients across neighboring APs; and adjusts client allocation to
balance the load
– Airtime fairness
Provides equal RF transmission time for wireless clients
•
Spectrum analysis
– Power/frequency spectrum analysis
Measures noise from IEEE 802.11 remote sources
–
Signal detection/classification
Identifies source of RF interference; for example, Bluetooth®, cordless phones, and
microwave ovens
– Channel quality evaluation
Helps detect severe channel degradation and improves the reporting of poor RF
performance
•
Integrated IDS
Detects and locates unknown and rogue devices (refer to the controller data sheet for details)
•
AP management
Provides a secure Web browser (SSL and VPN), a command-line interface, an SNMP v2c,
an SNMP v3, MIB-II with traps, and a RADIUS Authentication Client MIB (RFC 2618); offers
an embedded HTML management tool with secure access (SSL and VPN); and implements
scheduled configuration and firmware upgrades from a central controller
•
HP Intelligent Management Center and Wireless Services Manager Software
Provide centralized discovery, logging, status, and configuration management
•
Diagnostics
Records association, authentication, and DHCP events in the client event log; provides a packet
capture tool for Ethernet and IEEE 802.11 interfaces (PCAP format); and includes a data rate matrix
•
Enhanced AP survivability
Continues to operate using the old IP address, while the AP searches for a new controller
