CHAPTER 1. Access Point Controller
System Overview
1.1 APC Overview
The Samsung Access Pointer Controller (APC) comprehensively manages the user
information and traffics while managing an Access Point (AP), i.e. a device that provides
wireless connection service for a user terminal in a Wi-Fi environment. There are two types
depending on the AP capacity; WEC8500 and WEC8050. It comprehensively manages all
the APs and provides services in a wireless LAN environment. Because AP and APC are
connected in tunneling, all the user traffics are exchanged and processed.
The APC is typically installed at a position where it can be connected to a backbone switch,
core switch or router in a network of enterprise environment and it controls a wireless LAN
AP and provides the functions for Wireless LAN (WLAN) services such as handover and
QoS, security/authentication, etc. The Samsung WEC8500 provides its services up to 500
APs. It can provide its services up to 10,000 connected user devices. Meanwhile, the
WEC8050 can accommodate maximum 75 APs and provides the service to maximum 1500
user devices.
The APC provides a WLAN network environment through AP management and also
provides various communication services required by enterprise customers in a wireless
environment by interoperating with other enterprise solutions. It provides Wireless
Enterprise (W-EP) solution in an enterprise environment by making the collaboration
applications such as telephone, message, or communicator, etc., that has been used in a
legacy wire environment, be able to be used in a wireless terminal such as smart phone,
tablet PC, or notebook.

Figure 1. System Structure for Wireless Enterprise Solution
The Samsung W-EP solution, as shown in figure, comprehensively includes various
enterprise applications which are provided by wire/wireless infrastructure products and
wireless terminals. The WLAN network, a wireless infrastructure solution that provides
mobility in an enterprise environment, consists of W-EP wireless LAN Access Point (AP),
W-EP AP Controller (APC), and Wireless Enterprise WLAN Manager (WEM).
The Samsung APC and W-EP wireless LAN AP are core devices that provide various
services such as user authentication, wireless management, voice and data service, etc. in
the 802.11-based Wi-Fi environment. The WEM provides convenient configuration
environment, various statistics, and event information to an operator.
Term
In this manual, the WEC8500/WEC8050 and APC commonly represent Samsung
AP Controller. In addition, the AP means Samsung W-EP wireless LAN AP.

As an enterprise call manager, it is a switch required to provide the Fixed Mobile
Convergence (FMC) function to a wireless terminal (optional).
APC (WEC8500/WEC8050)
The APC manages all the W-EP wireless LAN APs installed in an enterprise
communication environment and it also manages user information and traffics.
Because the W-EP wireless LAN network configuration uses a centralized structure where
all the wireless user traffics are in tunneling through the APC, the APC is one of the most
important elements related to traffic management and throughput in the W-EP environment.
An APC is typically installed at a position where it can be connected to a backbone switch,
core switch or router in a network. It controls the W-EP wireless LAN AP and provides
handover, QoS, and security/authentication functions.
WEM
In the W-EP wireless LAN environment, various services are provided through a complex
network configuration. As many users are involved, its management is complex and
difficult. A normal network administrator can hardly handle any problematic issue as well
as a normal management task. The WEM is a Network Management System (NMS) that
efficiently manages this kind of W-EP wireless LAN network and service environment.
It manages a WLAN network, retrieves and configures the status of APC or W-EP wireless
LAN AP.
CHAPTER 1. Access Point Controller System Overview
W-EP AP (W-EP Wireless LAN AP)
The W-EP wireless LAN AP is a device that provides wireless connection service to a user
terminal. It should be installed by considering the service area or region that will be
provided in an enterprise environment. Typically, the number of W-EP wireless LAN APs
is determined by considering the size of installation area and the number of users to secure
service coverage.
Ethernet Switch
Typically, because an AP is installed in a user area, use a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch
that does not use a power line for the beauties of environment, etc. Install the W-EP
wireless LAN APs by considering current consumption and the power capacity PoE switch.
In addition, because power drop may occur if the distance between the switch and W-EP
wireless LAN AP, the relationship between distance and power must be considered.
Typically, the distance between these two must be 100 m or less in order to avoid power
drop.
Wireless terminal/FMC Client
Terminal that provides the 802.11a/b/g/n interface such as smart phone, tablet PC, or
notebook computer, etc. In an Android smart phone, an enterprise Voice over IP (VoIP)
application equipped with the Samsung voice engine is called a FMC client (The FMC
client is an option).
Wireless additional service
In the W-EP environment, various application services are required as well as basic
wireless connection services.
The Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) provides a security service that is one of
the most important elements in an enterprise environment. The WIPS can seamlessly
receive wireless connection service through the security services such as unauthorized
terminal, unauthorized AP, or ad hoc connection blocking, etc.
Location service that manages the location of a terminal in a wireless environment is also
an application service required in an enterprise environment. With this, it is possible to
manage the location of an effective user or an unauthorized user.
IP application service
The IP application servers required in an existing wire network including Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, DNS server, web server, or RADIUS authentication
server are also used in the W-EP environment. Especially, the DHCP server and RADIUS
authentication server play a critical role in the wireless environment.
CHAPTER 1. Access Point Controller System Overview
WIPS Solution
It monitors the properness of the implementation of the wireless network infrastructure by
detecting penetration via unauthorized wireless equipment installed in the internal network,
the detoured gateway segment of the internal officers and employees who illegally connect
to the commercial WLAN service, etc. and provides the wireless network invasion
detection which implements the safe and effective wireless network environment by
detecting security vulnerabilities.
The WEC8500 provides a 10/100/1000BASE-T port (RJ-45) for management purpose.
It is working in 10/100 Mbps half duplex/full duplex mode or in 1000 Mbps full duplex
mode. Because it supports the automatic MDI/MDI-X function, you can use a straightthrough cable for all the network connections to a PC, server, switch, or network hub.
Figure 5. Management Port Configuration
When connecting a cable to the management port, make sure to check if the cable complies
with the 10 BASE-T, 100 BASE-TX, or 1000 BASE-T.
Cable type: UTP or STP cable using RJ-45 connector
10 BASE-T: Category 3 or higher
100 BASE-TX: Category 5 or higher
1000 BASE-T: Category 5 or higher (Category 5e or higher is recommended)

1.4 APC Application Configuration and Service
Scenario
1.4.1 Basic Configuration
To provide wireless connection service using a wireless LAN in the W-EP environment, the
W-EP wireless LAN AP that helps a terminal connect to the network through wireless and
an APC that controls the terminal are basically required. Especially, the role of APC is
critical to guarantee QoS of various services and provide high level of security functions in
an Enterprise communication environment. As various elements are required in the W-EP
environment, it is necessary to intuitively or organically manage each element via WEM.
In addition, the IP application servers including authentication server, DHCP server, or
DNS server which is a basic network configuration element in a wire enterprise
environment are also interoperated to provide more convenient and various mobile services
to users. One outstanding example is the FMC service that provides enterprise level VoIP in
a wireless LAN. With this, the wire/wireless integrated voice service can be provided.
An example of service configuration diagram using the W-EP wireless LAN system is
shown in the below figure. The configuration diagram is based on Samsung APC
(WEC8500).

W-EP AP
The basic W-EP wireless LAN network configuration is a centralized structure where all
the wireless user traffics go through tunneling between APC and W-EP wireless LAN AP.
Therefore, the network information such as subnet information allocated to a wireless user
depends on the configuration of backbone network where the APC is connected.
This provides the following advantages during network configuration and setup.
Installing the APC is just adding it to a legacy data center or backbone network.
Therefore, the possibility of physical change of core network can be reduced.
In addition, separate design of wire/wireless network is easy using the APC as a
boundary.
No dramatic network change is required to install the W-EP wireless LAN AP.
An AP installed in a user area is located in various local network environments in a wide
region. Although it is unavoidable to install or expand a PoE switch, the modification of
local network where wire users are already configured can be minimized.
Because the APC relays all the user traffics, it can restrict a wireless attacker’s effects
and provide differentiated service for each user.
1.4.2 Configuration of Multiple APC for Redundancy
The APC provides the redundancy function to guarantee QoS for various services and
provide service stability in the W-EP environment.
An example of service configuration diagram for redundancy is shown in the below figure.
Figure 12. Example of W-EP Wireless LAN System Configuration for Redundancy
CHAPTER 1. Access Point Controller System Overview
In this configuration, several APC s are used to minimize service disruption caused by a
disconnected APC and to enhance service sustainability. Basically, two or more APC s
must be installed in the same site for APC redundancy. The redundancy configuration
includes active-active configuration, active-standby configuration, and many-to-one
configuration. An operator can select a configuration based on the number of available
APC s and redundancy level.
1.4.3 Clustering Configuration using Multiple APC (WEC8500)
The W-EP environment has various area sizes, user density and number of users. If only a
single APC is required for service and management, the complexity of network
configuration or management is not high. However, if the capacity of a single APC is not
sufficient, multiple APC s must be installed for service. The WEC8500 is a Samsung APC
model providing the clustering environment.
To set up a wireless LAN network in an environment where multiple WEC8500s are
installed, the integrated management system and user service must be provided through
clustering configuration between the WEC8500s. This allows inter APC handover.
The WEC8500s configured in a cluster provides a service just like a single WEC8500
through periodic information exchange.
Inter APC handover
The inter APC handover is a handover between APCs. A clustering group is used
to provide this function and this clustering group means a virtual area.
Maximum 12 WEC8500s can be bound to a single group. An APC in a group
cannot be added to another group.
It provides layer 3 handover and the handover is supported when a terminal
moves to an APC which have different subnets. A serving APC is called as an
anchor APC and a target APC is called as a foreign APC. The control path and
also the tunnel for data traffic between APCs provide security using IPSec.
The inter APC handover provides this function both in the standard Wi-Fi

1.4.3.1 Configuration of Distributed Clustering Service
The configuration of distributed clustering is to install each WEC8500 in a building or a
local site according to its capacity. This option can be used when there is no integrated
backbone configuration in a site or networks are separated for each building. It is suitable
for a site where several buildings are apart from each other.
An example of service configuration diagram is shown in the below figure.

1.4.3.2 Configuration of Centralized Clustering Service
In the centralized cluster configuration, all the WEC8500s in a site are installed in the
center. This is suitable when all the networks in a site are configured around the backbone.
This option is suitable for a site where several buildings are close to each other or a large
building where a seamless handover service is required using one or more WEC8500s.
Better performance can be obtained if there is a single backbone network and it is
preferable in terms of installation or maintenance because its service configuration is
simple.

1.4.4 Configuration of Multiple Sites Consisting of Headquarter
and Branches
The W-EP wireless LAN network environment usually consists of one headquarter and
several branches.
In this case, there are two types of network configuration.
Hierarchical type: A APC is installed in a branch as well as headquarter.
Branch AP type: A APC is installed only in a headquarter and only a W-EP wireless
LAN AP is installed in a branch.
In the hierarchical type, it is advantageous that each branch can use each different service
policy. However, the management in headquarter is complex and many low-capacity APCs
must be installed, so the branch AP type is commonly used.
The branch AP type has the same structure as a basic W-EP wireless LAN configuration.
A single difference is that a W-EP wireless LAN AP installed in a branch is located at a
remote place. The APC in headquarter provides a wireless LAN service in the headquarter
building and also provides a wireless LAN service to a remote W-EP wireless LAN AP
installed in a branch. As the APC in headquarter manages all the W-EP wireless LAN APs
using the same policy, it is easy to use and cost-effective.
An example of service configuration diagram for the branch AP type is shown in the below
figure.
Figure 15. Example of W-EP Wireless LAN System Configuration for Multiple Sites consisting of
CHAPTER 1. Access Point Controller System Overview
If user traffics are concentrated on a single centralized APC when there are many branches
or they are far from headquarter, performance may be deteriorated due to the time delay of
packet transmission, etc. Therefore, use different operation schemes according to the
location of W-EP wireless LAN AP in the configuration of headquarter and branches.
In other words, the local W-EP wireless LAN AP in a headquarter does traffic tunneling to
an APC and the branch AP installed in a branch switches a user traffic directly to a
destination address without tunneling to the APC. Even at this time, the APC in
headquarter manages all the W-EP wireless LAN APs and users.

1.5 NAT Configuration between AP and APC
The APC system provides the same services even when the APC or AP is in a NAT
environment.
If the APC system is in a NAT environment and obtaining a public IP address is difficult,
the APC can be configured to use a private IP address by enabling port mapping on the
existing NAT equipment, so that it can provide services to APs on the public IP network
and APs existing under other NAT networks.
Using this feature requires that the NAT equipment be applied with the following port
settings:
An example of service configuration diagram for the NAT environment is illustrated below.
An operator who has an administrator privilege (level 1) can create or delete a new operator
account. When creating an account, specify the account’s privilege level (level 1-4).
To set up operator account related functions, go to configure mode by executing the
following command.
WEC8500# configure terminal
WEC8500/configure #
Adding or deleting an account
The commands used to create or delete an account are as follows:
mgmt-user [USERNAME] [USERLEVEL] description [DESCRIPTION]: Adds a user
no mgmt-user [USERNAME]: Deletes a user
CHAPTER 2. Basic System Configuration
WEC8050/configure# mgmt-user test 1 description “test account”
WEC8500/configure/interface mgmt0# ip address 100.100.100.1/24
In case of WEC8050, there is no management (mgmt0) port. After establishing an
IP address in one of ports ge1 to ge4 by referring to the contents of 'Port
Configuration' and then using the CLI, connect the Ethernet cable to the port.
2.1.4 SNMP Community Configuration
To connect to the web server of APC, it is necessary to add Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) community through CLI. For more information, see ‘10.1 SNMP Configuration’.
2.1.5 CLI Basic Usage
The CLI is a text command based interface used to change or retrieve the system settings.
Several users can change the settings at the same time using the CLI of the same system.
Because privilege per user is already configured, a user can execute a command allowed by
the user’s privilege. Various commands are available for each system function. For more
information, see ANNEX ‘CLI Command Structure’.
Command Help
The CLI provides a help for all the commands. To see a help for a command and parameter,
enter ‘?’. Based on an input character, it shows a help for a command or parameter that can

Command automatic completion function
The CLI supports the command automatic completion function using the TAB key.
When you press the TAB key after entering the first few characters of a command, the rest
characters of the command that starts with the entered characters is automatically entered.
If there are several commands that start with the entered characters, press the TAB key to
jump to the next command. The below example shows the ‘show’, ‘save’, or ‘ssh’
command is entered in order by entering ‘s’ and pressing the TAB key.
To use the WEC, i.e. Web UI of APC system, the IP address of ethernet port must be set up.
When connecting to the IP address of APC ethernet port in a web browser, the below login
window is displayed. Log in using a default connection account ‘samsung’.
After the first login, you go through the course of changing the password. If you have
changed the password by connecting to the CLI, you don't have to go through the course of
changing the password.
The initial setup wizard aims to finish the basic settings by guiding the settings required for
the basic WLAN service in order when the APC is installed. It supports only the basic
settings to operate the WLAN service and the settings which are additional or are not
frequently used are not supported here. They must be made through the general WEC
screen.
2.3.2 Connecting
Connecting condition
If being connected to the WEC as web UI at the factory reset state or while there is no
WLAN, the APC system is connected to the Initial Setup Wizard instead of the general
WEC screen.
CHAPTER 2. Basic System Configuration
Connecting at the factory reset state
The connection at the factory reset state is available through the management port.
1) Connect the Ethernet cable to the management port and then to the PC.
2) The default IP address of the management port is 192.168.1.2. After configuring the IP
address of the PC fit for the bandwidth, open the web browser.
3) Enter 192.168.1.2 in the address bar of the browser to access.
In case of WEC8050, there is no management (mgmt0) port. After establishing
the IP address in one of ports ge1 to ge4 by using the CLI first on reference to
‘3.1 Port Configuration’, connect the Ethernet cable to the port.
Access while the IP address is set
If the IP address of the APC is set, check whether the APC and the PC are networked and
then open the web browser before accessing the IP address.
If the access to the APC is made through the web browser, follow the login procedure as
shown in ‘2.2.1 Web UI Connection’. After that, you can see the Welcome message by
connecting to the wizard.

3.1 Port Configuration
The APC port is configured with a physical interface.
Physical interface of 11 ports except WEC8500 console port
Physical interface of 4 ports except WEC8050 console port
3.1.1 Port management
The WEC8500 Management port is used to manage the WEC8500. It does not
support VLAN and its interface name is ‘mgmt0’. The 8 ports at the right side of
Management port are 10/100/1000 BASE T-ports and their names are GE1-8.
To the right side of the 10/100/1000 BASE T-ports, there are two Gigabit ports, i.e.
XE1 and XE2. In case of WEC8050, there is no management (mgmt0) port. After
establishing the IP address in one of ports ge1 to ge4 by using the CLI first,
connect the Ethernet cable to the port.
Configuration using CLI
To configure the port related function, enter into the interface mode by entering the
‘interface [INTERFACE_NAME]’ command in the configure mode.
An example of entering into the interface setup mode of the management port is shown
below.
The commands used to configure an auto-nego, speed, and duplex addresses are shown
