Maximize ROI on Proxim Wireless Networks
Proxim wireless
networks improve productivity and enable innovative new business applications in
health care, manufacturing and education. In addition to network infrastructure,
software infrastructure is needed to maximize the potential of the Proxim
networks. For ORiNOCO and other access points, Wavelink Mobile Manager
centralizes access point management, enforces security policies, and assists in
maintenance tasks – ensuring proper administration of the network and maximizing
return on investment. Mobile Manager provides:
- Consistent policy enforcement to increase reliability
- Integrates into existing management platform, such as HP OpenView
- Improved network availability, ensuring maximum access to business
applications
- Active problem detection and repair to prevent support calls
- Proactive tools to reduce troubleshooting time
Accelerate Planning, Configuration and Deployment
Mobile
Manager has auto-discovery and profiling functions to assist in network
roll-out. Mobile Manager will automatically detect all ORiNOCO and other access
points on the network and apply a standard, administrator user-defined
configuration. As new access points are installed, they automatically receive
the correct configuration. The centralized management console offers:
- Access point inventory collection
- Centrally managed security settings
- Easy growth of wireless networks, locally and remote
- Automatic configuration across all access points
Enforce and Extend Security
Mobile Manager sets, monitors
and continually enforces all network security parameters on ORiNOCO access
points – including SSID, WEP, EAP, WPA and 802.1x parameters. Beyond enforcing
over-the-air security and authentication policies, ORiNOCO devices and Mobile
Manager work together to find rogue access points – a potentially serious threat
to network security. Specific actions include:
- Airwave monitoring by ORiNOCO access points and clients
- Analysis of airwave data by Mobile Manager to detect unauthorized devices
- Security extended to non-WPA devices such as barcode scanners and handhelds
through automatic WEP key rotation
- Automatic WEP key rotation for maximum security
- Enterprise-wide access control lists
Improve Network Health and Performance
Mobile Manager’s
intuitive user interface enables visual assessments of network conditions to
allow quick response. Specific thresholds can be set to trigger alerts sent to
email lists, pagers or an SNMP monitoring system. Even better, Mobile Manager
can proactively diagnose, troubleshoot and repair many error conditions before
users are impacted. Monitored conditions include:
- Capacity
- Utilization
- Signal quality
- Most and least-used equipment
- And many more
