AWC plug-inAllied Telesis innovative Autonomous Wave Control (AWC) regularly analyzes wireless networks, and dynamically updates Access Points (APs) to deliver significant improvements in connectivity and performance, by automatically minimizing coverage gaps and reducing AP interference. AWC delivers a high-quality wireless experience that responds to network configuration changes and bandwidth demands from user devices.

Wireless network operation in multi-channel, single-channel (Channel Blanket), and hybrid (multi-channel and Channel Blanket) modes, supports maximum data throughput and seamless roaming for the most flexible wireless solution available.4

SNMP plug-inThe Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) plug-in can acquire detailed information and statistics from a broad range of networking devices. Different views enable users to manage devices the way they prefer. It supports management of up to 2000 devices, and in large networks it automatically searches for SNMP agents and displays each device found in tree form, for an easy view of the overall network topology. The SNMP plug-in is a powerful addition to Vista Manager EX, adding management flexibility by supporting non-AMF devices.

Graph statistical information obtained using SNMP such as interface traffic.
