Arada Wi-Fi Manager (AWM) lets a network administrator manage all wireless devices on a geographically dispersed network from a central location. Now, manage a wireless network spanning several geographies, segments, classes of devices and thousands of users.
SW Platform Highlights
AWM runs on an Intel x86 based server platform running a Linux operating system. It supports all standard devices that use an 802.11 MIB and a variety of network configurations. It supports SNMP version 1 through 2c and Arada Management Protocol (AMP) v1.0. It has a robust security model and graded access control features. AWM supports Groups, Devices and Users giving a heirarchy for network management. It supports syslog messages for devices configured to send syslog messages.
Device Management
AWM supports configuration templates containing device parameters to simplify device configuration management. Templates can be assigned to one or more groups and templates in the template store scheduled to be pushed to all the devices in a group.
Firmware Management
The firmware store supports multiple firmware images and firmware groups. A firmware upgrade job pushes the firmware image from the store to all devices in the assigned firmware group.
Monitoring and Statistics
AWM supports detailed network statistics including network monitoring, group monitoring, device monitoring, user monitoring, and rogue AP monitoring giving the administrator detailed views of the entire network.
Data Analysis
AWM provides for detailed analysis including inventory, percentage availability of device, device configuration compliance, device SSID security rating, rogue AP severity rating, and user roaming history thus allowing an administrator to control and administer the whole network from a single location.
