The SCALANCE IWLAN system:

• Scales up to Enterprise capacity — SCALANCE IWLAN Controllers are scalable:

– WLC711 — Up to 32 APs

In turn, each Wireless AP can handle up to 254 wireless devices, with each radio supporting a

maximum of 127. With additional SCALANCE IWLAN Controllers, the number of wireless

devices the solution can support can reach into the thousands.

• Integrates with existing network — A SCALANCE IWLAN Controller can be added to an

existing enterprise network as a new network device, greatly enhancing its capability without

interfering with existing functionality. Integration of the SCALANCE IWLAN Controllers and

Wireless APs does not require any re-configuration of the existing infrastructure (for example,

VLANs).

• Offers centralized management and control — An administrator accesses the SCALANCE

IWLAN Controller in its centralized location to monitor and administer the entire wireless

network. From the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller the administrator can recognize,

configure, and manage the Wireless APs and distribute new software releases.

• Provides easy deployment of Wireless APs — The initial configuration of the Wireless APs on

the centralized SCALANCE IWLAN Controller can be done with an automatic “discovery”

technique.

• Provides security via user authentication — Uses existing authentication (AAA) servers to

authenticate and authorize users.

• Provides security via filters and privileges — Uses virtual networking techniques to create

separate virtual networks with defined authentication and billing services, access policies, and

privileges.

• Supports seamless mobility and roaming — Supports seamless roaming of a wireless device

from one Wireless AP to another on the same SCALANCE IWLAN Controller or on a

different SCALANCE IWLAN Controller.

• Integrates third-party access points — Uses a combination of network routing and

authentication techniques.

• Prevents rogue devices — Unauthorized access points are detected and identified as either

harmless or dangerous rogue APs.

• Provides accounting services — Logs wireless user sessions, user group activity, and other

activity reporting, enabling the generation of consolidated billing records.

• Offers troubleshooting capability — Logs system and session activity and provides reports

to aid in troubleshooting analysis.

• Offers dynamic RF management — Automatically selects channels and adjusts Radio

Frequency (RF) signal propagation and power levels without user intervention.
