WiFi Manager is an enterprise-class WLAN management solution that enables
IT to secure, configure, and monitor critical wireless networks. It
combines the power of hardware sensors, which have in-built intelligence
to capture and analyze RF traffic, with the network management capabilities
such as configuration, fault and performance monitoring, to present
an integrated management solution. Using WiFi Manager IT teams can have
better control over wireless assets, their associations, their behavior,
and health.
What are the components of WiFi Manager?
WiFi Manager has two components – the software and the sensors.
Software: The WiFi Manager software is available for Windows and Linux Operating Systems. It is a full-fledged network management
software that automatically discovers the wireless and wired devices
in the network, monitors them for failures, monitors network as well
as device health, enables configuration and firmware upgrade of access
points, and generates trending reports.
Sensor (optional): These hardware sensors capture and analyze the wireless
traffic and forward them to the WiFi Manager software. You can buy these
sensors, in addition to buying WiFi Manager software, for 24x7 RF monitoring.
What standards does WiFi Manager support?
WiFi Manager provides support for all major WLAN standards including
802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, WEP, WPA etc.
Does WiFi Manager work with my current network management
console?
Yes. WiFi Manager provides integration with higher applications such
as HP Open View, IBM Tivoli, CA Unicenter , and others by means of SNMP
Traps.
I have deployed access points from multiple
vendors. Will WiFi Manager be able to configure and monitor all of them?
Yes. WiFi Manager supports a wide range of access points including
Cisco, Proxim, Symbol, 3Com, Avaya, HP, Dell, and others.
How does WiFi Manager differ from other management
software available in the market today?
Very few WLAN management software in the market today offer support
for multi-vendor access points. Of the lot, WiFi Manager stands out
as the only solution, which has integrated RF sensors for WLAN
security. These vendors support a range of sensors available in the
market, which are not only high-priced by also lack that tighter integration
with the software.
Is WiFi Manager available for evaluation or direct
purchasing?
