Fast and Easy Deployment

Plug-and-Play

Out-of-the-box AP installation is a

breeze. Using AccessAdapt™ technol-

ogy, Altitude™ APs automatically

discover the Summit WM controller and

download conﬁguration and operating

parameters—without any pre-conﬁgu-

ration of the AP. After receiving

conﬁguration information and being

provisioned with the appropriate

WM-ADs, APs begin broadcasting

multiple Service Set Identiﬁers (SSIDs)

to clients in the area. Technicians can

quickly add new APs to an existing

system without specialized WLAN

knowledge.

The Summit wireless mobility solution

incorporates easily with existing IP

networks and wireless clients.

Enterprises can enjoy outstanding

performance, high security and

seamless roaming without needing to

install and manage client drivers. Since

APs and controllers communicate using

IP, designers have the option of not

needing to conﬁgure network-wide

VLANs when installing the wireless

network. If desired, however, VLANs

can be used for trafﬁc between the APs

and the controller as well as from the

controller into the switching network.

Dynamic Radio Management

(DRM)

Summit WM series controllers simplify

setup and operation through their

extensive DRM capabilities. DRM

automatically optimizes radio frequency

coverage in an area, selecting channels

and adjusting power levels to provide

trouble-free client connectivity while

maximizing coverage.

Keeping up with changes that affect

coverage can be a challenge. With DRM,

calibration and adjustment automatically

occur 24 hours a day, eliminating the

need to manually set or tune power levels

as conditions change. In addition, should

an AP fail, DRM provides fault tolerance

by detecting the failure and compensating

by increasing output power of the

neighboring APs.

DRM uses a distributed algorithm that

does not require a connection to a

centralized resource. As a result, branch

ofﬁce support is simpliﬁed and the

solution is highly scalable. DRM is stable

and does not “ﬂap” during operation—

meaning the WLAN remains available and

reliable even when radio frequency

conditions are changing.

Summit Wireless Mobility

Access Domains

Summit Wireless Mobility Access Domains

(WM-AD) help administrators easily

deﬁne proﬁles for different categories of

users, groups, devices or applications.

Compared to the other approaches that

require the conﬁguration of a multitude of

security and performance parameters,

WM-ADs are a simple and powerful

approach to the changing access chal-

lenges of the dynamic Enterprise. For

example, one Access Domain may be

developed for guest access, another for

VoWLAN handsets, and a third for secure

employee access (see Figure 1).

After the administrator has deﬁned Access

Domains for the different types of users,

each Access Domain is assigned to one or

more Altitude APs. The appropriate APs

begin broadcasting service availability.

For example, an Access Domain for guest

access might be advertised by the APs in

the lobby only, while a second Access

Domain for VoWLAN phones could be

supported by APs covering the factory

ﬂoor.

From the user’s perspective, each Access

Domain will appear to be a standalone

virtual AP, available only at the locations

selected by the administrator. When a user

or device associates with one of these

virtual APs, the connection will be gov-

erned by the associated Access Domain

parameters for authentication, privacy, QoS

and access to network resources.

The theme of simplicity continues with the

intuitive Summit wireless mobility graphical

management interface. It offers centralized

conﬁguration and management of users,

devices, and applications and can be

accessed via a web browser over the

network or directly through a management

port on the system. The interface provides

remote performance and session monitor-

ing, statistics, status monitoring, and

reporting. The system supports SSL,

SNMP v2, FTP, RADIUS accounting,

statistics, syslog and Secure Shell (SSH)

interface.

For customers looking for increased

operational efﬁciencies, Extreme Networks

offers its EPICenter

network management

platform for managing Summit WM systems

as well as Extreme Networks stackable and

modular switching products. With

EPICenter, administrators can discover and

view Extreme’s network products, receive

traps and alarms, view topology and

inventory, and generate comprehensive

reports.

WLAN systems have been difﬁcult to install, conﬁgure and operate. Summit WM series controllers provide a fresh

approach to managing the complexity of conﬁguring and operating wireless networks through a number of unique

capabilities.
