4. Feature: HTTP redirect

Benefit: Allows the display an HTTP Splash screen or company network usage policy when clients associate with the AP


Features & Benefits5. Feature: IPv6

Benefit: Delivering the infrastructure to support IPv6-enabled applications. Peer-to-peer applications like Meetingspace in Vista operates efficiently with IPv6 - uses IPv4 as a last resort SBBU has IPv6 functionality across switches, routers, NAS, Wireless,

Cameras, etc.

Dual IPv4/IPv6 stack allows for transitioning of a network to IPv6 in a controlled fashion

6. Feature: Multiple BSSIDs

Benefit: Solution acts as multiple APs each serving a different wireless network or VLAN. Can use for secure Business network and Guest Access

7. Feature: Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Benefit: Flexibility to install AP in optimal and hard-to-reach locations by sharing power and data on a single cable.


Features & Benefits8. Feature: WPS (WiFi Protected Setup)

Benefit: A WiFi Alliance certification for simple and secure setup of a wireless network.

9. Feature: WMM Power Save (U-APSD) Benefit: optimizes battery power usage of connected WiFi phones

and other mobility devices.

10. Feature: WPA2 Enterprise

Benefit: Secure, centralized authentication using RADIUS

11. Feature: VLANs

Benefit: Multiple VLANs keep traffic separate on the LAN network

For example – separate Sales, Marketing, Admin & Engineering or Data, Voice, Video, and Guests on individual VLANs.


Features & Benefits

12. Feature: Spanning Tree

Benefit: Supports 802.1d Spanning Tree protocol to prevent loops when using WDS links in a redundant fashion for fault tolerance

13. Feature: WDS (Wireless Distribution System)

Benefit: Support for Wireless Bridging for building-to-building applications and Repeater mode for extended reach of the wireless network

14. Feature: Load Balancing

Benefit: This capability allows the connections to APs in the network to be spread across multiple APs

15. Feature: Automatic channel Selection

Benefit: On boot up, the AP selects the least congested channel, facilitating optimal performance of the wireless network

Wireless Security Monitoring Developed by Cisco-Linksys

Provides rogue AP and client detection

Support on WAP4400N and WPC4400N, and WAP200/E + 200-series Clients – both clients and AP required

AP and clients work as wireless monitoring probesMost solutions rely on the AP only

Using clients increases coverage area

Light-weight client utility replaces expensive management serverStatus reports provide:

Channel usage

SSIDs in use

Alerts users of new AP and Client

No alerts for existing devices
