The wireless devices and the wired networks communicate with each other using standard networking
protocols and addressing schemes. Most commonly, Internet Protocol (IP) addressing is used.
Elements of the Summit WM series switch, access
points, and WLAN switch software solution
The Summit WM series switch, access points, and WLAN switch software solution consists of two
devices:
● Summit WM series switch
● Altitude APs
This architecture allows a single Summit WM series switch to control many Altitude APs, making the
administration and management of large networks much easier.
There can be several Summit WM series switches in the network, each with a set of registered Altitude
APs. The Summit WM series switches can also act as backups to each other, providing stable network
availability.
In addition to the Summit WM series switches and Altitude APs, the solution requires three other
components, all of which are standard for enterprise and service provider networks:
● RADIUS Server (Remote Access Dial-In User Service) or other authentication server
● DHCP Server (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
● SLP (Service Location Protocol)
