SmartPath Wireless: the Management Platform

Available as cloud-based subscription or as Virtual

Appliance Manager Software to install on your server.

» Manage entire system from a user-friendly GUI

console

. APs can be configured in minutes through

the EMS.

Platform’s policy-based management simplifies large

deployments encompassing many sites and offices.

Use to set up access enforced by per-user policies and

role-based guest management delegation with SLAs.

Group policies can be applied network wide to all

APs or individually to certain APs.

Integrated Wi-Fi planner tool helps you verify

optimum SmartPath Wireless AP placement.

» Easily see network topology and status of access

points.

Boasts full 802.1X authentication for secure access.

Supports RADIUS with Active Directory, LDAP,

Open Directory, and eDirectory integration.

Easily manage security settings, firewall policies,

and more.

SmartPath Enterprise Management System (EMS)

The SmartPath Enterprise Management System (EMS) brings best-in-class

management to a distributed WLAN system, enabling you to centrally

manage just a handful or up to hundreds of SmartPath access points.

Chaperone the AP party.

Once plugged in, each SmartPath access point automatically contacts

the EMS using the secure CAPWAP-DTLS protocol. The EMS then pushes

configuration data to the newly installed access point to bring it into the

network. This easy, virtually plug-and-play installation makes it simple to

add access points to the network at any time while retaining full control

over the process.

With the EMS, you don’t need prestaging or preconfiguration to

connect access points anywhere on your network, so managing remote

access points is as easy as managing a local LAN.

The EMS provides centralized control of the entire SmartPath network

but does not actively forward traffic or make forwarding decisions — this

is done by the intelligent access points themselves. Because data traffic

doesn’t travel through the EMS, you avoid the traffic bottlenecks

seen with some controller-based wireless solutions, but yet retain full

administrative control.

Complete SmartPath WLAN visualization.

This GUI platform enables you to manage the entire SmartPath system

from a user-friendly interface. It features a customizable dashboard for

advanced functionality without unnecessary complexity. Use it to monitor,

upgrade, troubleshoot, and more.

Network maps enable you to see topology and status of access points,

and real-time heat maps show RF propagation within your enterprise.

The EMS detects both authorized and rogue WLAN clients and access

points, and maps them for easy visualization.

Screens also feature details related to SLA compliance and statistics

for reporting purposes. Configuration audit capabilities ensure that all

configurations are up to date, and you can set up real-time monitoring

of alarms and events from all APs.

Group policy and per-user policy enforcement.

Group policy functions automatically create wireless profiles for your

users. Whenever a new laptop user joins the domain, wireless access

is available quickly.

You can also configure Active Directory for per-user policy

enforcement. Supporting up to 64 policy configurations per SSID,

the system enables you to set up wireless access by user.

Also keep data secure by restricting guests to the Internet while

allowing employees to connect to the Internet and your private network.

You can even set it up so an authorized employee can create guest

network accounts via the EMS.

Two options: Manage from a cloud or a server.

The SmartPath EMS, Cloud-Based version gives you either a 1-year

(LWN600CM-1) or a 3-year subscription (LWN600CM-3) for managing

one SmartPath AP. On-line management makes it easy to start small and

add users to your network as you grow. And with no hardware device

to install, configure, or patch, you can manage it from anywhere.

SmartPath on-line is hosted within secure Tier IV SAS 70 Type II data

centers, with scheduled backups and disaster recovery capabilities and

24/7 monitoring. None of your traffic traverses the hosted service’s

network, so your data is kept private and secure.

If, for security reasons, you can’t use cloud-based management, you

may prefer to use SmartPath EMS Virtual Management Appliance

Software (LWN600VMA), which installs on your server as VMware

and supports up to 5000 APs. This option requires a one-time perpetual

license (LWN600MLA-1) for each AP.

The EMS interface includes a helpful Wi-Fi planning tool.
