Features and benefits
Management
• Wi-Fi Clear Connect
provides a system-wide approach to improve WLAN reliability by
proactively determining and adjusting to changing RF conditions;
helps optimize WLAN performance by identifying rogue activity
and making decisions at a system-wide level
• Advanced radio resource management
– Automatic radio power adjustments
include real-time power adjustments based on changing
environmental conditions and signal coverage adjustments
– 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
• Integrated IDS (Premium Mobility version required)
– detects and locates unknown and rogue devices
• Access point management
provides secure Web browser (SSL, VPN), command-line
interface, SNMP v2c, SNMP v3, MIB-II with traps, and RADIUS
Authentication Client MIB (RFC 2618); offers embedded HTML
management tool with secure access (SSL and VPN); implements
scheduled configuration and firmware upgrades from a central
controller
• HP Intelligent Management Center and Wireless Services
Manager Software
provides central management for discovery, logging, status, and
configuration management
• Diagnostics
client event log records association, authentication, and DHCP
events; packet capture tool for Ethernet and IEEE 802.11
interfaces (PCAP format); data rate matrix
• Enhanced AP survivability
continues to operate using the old IP address while the AP
searches for a new controller
Quality of Service (QoS)
• Rate limiting
supports per-wireless client ingress-enforced maximums and
per-wireless client, per-queue guaranteed minimums
• Centralized traffic
Layer 2 and Layer 3 QoS settings are maintained when using
Mobility Traffic Manager or guest access
• IEEE 802.1p prioritization
delivers data to devices based on the priority and type of traffic
• Wireless
– L2/L3/L4 classification
IEEE 802.1p VLAN priority, SpectraLink SVP, and DiffServ
– Assigned by VSC
Wi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM), IEEE 802.11e EDCF, and Service-Aware
priority
– Maximum VoIP call capacity
12 active calls on IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n
• SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP) support
prioritizes SpectraLink voice IP packets sent from a SpectraLink
NetLink SVP server to SpectraLink wireless voice handsets to help
ensure excellent voice quality
Connectivity
• IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) support
simplifies deployment and dramatically reduces installation costs
by helping to eliminate the time and cost involved in supplying
local power at each access point location
• Auto-MDIX
automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on
all 10/100 ports
Mobility
• Anywhere, anytime wireless coverage
includes a single radio IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n access point; per-radio
software-selectable configuration of frequency bands;
self-healing, self-optimizing local mesh that extends network
availability; Wi-Fi Alliance Certification for interoperability with all
IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n client devices; and IEEE 802.3af PoE
• Medical standards
meets the European EN60601-1-2 standard for healthcare
• Interoperability
meets Wi-Fi Alliance Certifications, including IEEE 802.11g Wi-Fi
and WPA2, to help ensure multivendor interoperability
• Virtual Service Communities (VSCs)
includes up to 16 SSIDs, each with unique MAC address and
configurable SSID broadcasts; individual security and QoS profiles
per VSC; configurable DTIM and minimum data rate per VSC; VSCs
that can be mapped to separate IEEE 802.1Q VLANs; WMM and/or
WMM-PS; a security filter; and an IP filter
• AP client access control functions
– IEEE 802.1X authentication using EAP-SIM, EAP-FAST, EAP-TLS,
EAP-TTLS, and PEAP
– MAC address authentication using local or RADIUS access lists
– RADIUS AAA using EAP-MD5, PAP, CHAP, and MS-CHAPv2
– RADIUS Client (RFC 2865 and 2866) with location-aware
support
– Layer 2 wireless client isolation
