Ethernet Based “Agent”

SNC24 Network Management

• Simple Remote Deployment– Plug in Power and RJ-45– Access Points and Mobile Units Auto-Discovered – Configure Access Points Remotely– No equipment staging and configuring required

• No IP address needs to be pre-assigned

Ethernet Based Agent

Plug in Locally

INTERNET

Configure and ManageRemotely

• Auto-Detect– Any change to the wireless network

• New Access Point

• Deleted Access Point

• Changed IP Address

• Change in Settings

– Alerts for any unauthorized modifications

Ethernet Based Agent

• Performance Warnings– Proactively identify possible failure conditions– Set thresholds for desired network performance

parameters– An Alert is generated for any network

performance that falls outside threshold– E-Mail or Page IS staff

Ethernet Based Agent

Ethernet Based Agent

• Secure Administration – SNC24 agent required on every network

segment to be managed– Uses Windows NT “challenge/response” to

verify the security ID of the administration station prior to allowing it access to the segment

• Built in Redundancy– Primary Agent– Secondary Agent– Run Agents on different PCs for hardware

redundancy– Secondary agent takes over with complete

functionality until Primary comes back on line.

Ethernet Based Agent

Profiles

SNC24 Network Management

• Automated Deployment– Pre-define multiple profiles – Reserve an IP Address List per Profile– Configure simply by applying a Profile to the

access point when it is plugged in– Define a “Default” profile

• Automatically assigned to any access point not otherwise defined

Profiles

Defau

lt

• Proactive Maintenance– Once a profile is assigned to an access point it

is “associated” to that Access Point by its MAC address

– If a Profile gets dropped, it is automatically re-instated by the SNC24 agent

– If an Access Point’s settings inadvertently get changed, they will automatically reset to desired profile.

Profiles

• Access Control– Prevent unwanted mobile devices from

connecting to the wireless network– Identify the MAC addresses of the mobile

devices you wish to allow to connect

Profiles

• Agent issues Challenge/Response to ensure Network Administration is authenticated

• Mobile unit access control can be defined by MAC address

• Alerts for Unauthorized Activity – Administrator attempting to modify the network – Attempts by mobile units to access the network– Addition or removal of an Access Point

• Automated Profile re-assignment in the event of any unauthorized modifications

Security Summary

ASP

SERVER

1) The server sends an XML request to the remote workstation.

2) The remote workstation sends a “Get” request to the server.

4) The remote LAN can be managed locally, or by the service provider across the Internet

3) The server transmits the SNC24 service to the remote location.
