WMS5316

Central Conﬁguration for up to 16 Wireless Access Points

NETGEAR® ProSAFE® Wireless Management Solutions solve the quandary of individually conﬁguring, deploying, and managing multiple standalone wireless access points. With support of up to 150 APs, the Wireless Controller provides a central point to conﬁgure and manage your wireless network. Firmware updates and conﬁguration changes can be pushed across multiple APs simultaneously – at the push of a button. Simplify the wireless management and improve user experience with the following key functions:

• Enable wireless users to seamlessly roam while continuously connected to the network

• Optimize network with automatic RF channel settings and adjustments of AP output power setting

• Centrally monitor and manage AP’s for a single or multiple remote sites

• Protect against intruders via advanced wireless rogue AP detection algorithms

• Segment guest and corporate access with multiple SSIDs, Guest Captive Portal, and standard based VLAN conﬁgurations

If centralized automatic RF management disabled, for each radio band (802.11 b/bg/ng and 802.11 a/na) the Wireless Management System can centrally conﬁgure each access point group with common settings: turn radio on, wireless mode, MCS index/data rate, channel width (11n only), guard interval (11n only), output power, RTS threshold (0-2347), fragmentation length (256-2346), beacon interval (100-1000), aggregation length (1024-65535, 11n only), AMPDU (11n only), RIFS transmission (11n only), enable Wi-Fi Multimedia™ (WMM), DTIM interval (1 and

WMM automatically prioritizes trac for both upstream trac from the stations to the access points (station EDCA parameters) and downstream trac from the access points to the client stations (AP EDCA parameters). Basic QoS settings for all the access points or advanced QoS settings for each access point group are available.

• Voice: The highest priority queue with minimum delay, which makes it ideal for applications like VOIP and streaming media

• Video: The second highest priority queue with low delay is given to this queue. Video applications are routed to this queue

• Best Eort: The medium priority queue with medium delay is given to this queue. Most standard IP application will use this queue

• Background: Low priority queue with high throughput. Applications, such as FTP, which are not time-sensitive but require high throughput can use this queue.
