Preface
Thank you for your confidence in us!
The WLAN Controllers LANCOM WLC-4025 and LANCOM WLC-4006 are
state-of-the-art hardware components for medium-scale WLAN-installation
management that is just as simple as it is secure. All settings are entered just
once into a central profile in the WLAN Controller—the rest is pure and simple
"Plug&Play". New Access Points are found automatically. All of the configura-
tion settings required for optimized wireless network operations, such as the
channel settings and security policies, are automatically transferred to all of
the Access Points. Operations are also monitored centrally (e.g. background
scanning) by the WLAN Controller.
Greatly simplified WLAN management offers significant costs savings. WLAN
networks are extended easily and securely simply by "plugging in" new access
points. Even remote sites can be seamlessly integrated—any IP connection
will do. Smaller sites also benefit from the RADIUS/EAP server integrated into
the LANCOM WLAN Controller.
At the same time the LANCOM WLAN Controllers ensure maximum security as
all of the LANCOM Access Points in the network strictly observe corporate
security policies automatically. Potential security loopholes are eliminated by
permanent monitoring across all company sites.
Special highlights of the LANCOM WLAN Controller include, among others:
"Smart controller" for application-related or user-related WLAN network-
ing
No separate cabling necessary—any IP connection will do
"Split management" for LANCOM WLAN Routers
Automatic discovery and commissioning of access points and WLAN rout-
ers
Central administration of WLAN configuration profiles
Monitoring and assurance of encryption and QoS policy
Integrated RF optimization
Full support of VLAN, RADIUS and 802.x/EAP functions
Integrated router, firewall and VPN gateway
Scalable by adding Controllers; redundancy included
Unparalleled operational reliability which prevents "single points of fail-
ure"
