WiFi Manager
WiFi Manager is an integrated
wireless security and management solution, offering multi-vendor access
point configuration, firmware upgrade, rogue detection, combined wired and
wireless network monitoring, and reporting capabilities for enterprise-grade
wireless networks. With integrated hardware sensors for analyzing 802.11
packets, the solution protects WLANs from security threats such as
intrusions, denial-of-service attacks, and vulnerabilities. It automatically
discovers all wireless and wired assets in the distributed network and
enables IT to control them from a single console. The Web-based user
interface makes it easy to be accessed from anywhere, using a standard HTML
browser.
Rogue Access Point Detection
WiFi Manager employs multiple techniques involving RF and wired side inputs to
detect rogue access points. Once detected, WiFi Manager provides details such as
nearest sensor and switch port mapping for the administrators to locate and
block the rogue AP from the network.
Attack Mitigation
WiFi Manager reduces the impact of wireless attacks by detecting them before
hand. It detects all major attacks including RF jamming attack, AirJack
attack,ASLEAP attack, Fata-jack attack, EAPoL
logoff Storm, EAPoL Start Storm etc.
Access point configuration
Using WiFi Manager administrators can configure access point for basic settings,
radio settings, access control settings, security settings, and services
settings. Administrators can either fill-in pre-defined configuration templates
and push the values to select access points or group access points based on
model, firmware version etc., and configure them in bulk.
Firmware upgrade
WiFi Manager facilitates remote firmware upgrade of access points.
Administrators can import firmware images into the system and direct WiFi
Manager to upgrade select access points using the firmware. Access points can
also be grouped based on the model or current firmware version for upgrading in
bulk. Upgrades can also be scheduled for later execution.
Centralized management of distributed wired and wireless
networks
WiFi Manager provides a single console for managing distributed wireless and
wired networks. It discovers all wired and wireless devices in the network and
enables the administrators to visualize, control, and monitor them from a
Web-based console. This enhances IT productivity as administrators can now
connect to the server from anywhere to perform management functions.
Heterogeneous WLAN management
WiFi Manager supports all major access point vendors including Cisco, Proxim,
Symbol, 3Com, Ayaya, HP, Dell and others. [Refer the
Supported AP List for a detailed list of access points supported by WiFi
Manager]. IT teams can now login to a single console to control multi-vendor
access points instead of logging into multiple vendor-supplied applications.
Moreover, as WLANs grow in size, IT teams can choose from a wide range of
hardware without worrying about the management as WiFi Manager continues to add
support for more and more vendors. WiFi Manager offers the best investment
protection by enabling IT teams to add hardware from a different vendor without
having to upgrade the software.
Active troubleshooting
Web-based GUI enables quick access to alarms, reports, configuration history
etc., facilitating easy troubleshooting. Administrators can now quickly identify
the most utilized access points, highly active clients, degraded access points
etc and take preventive actions even before a trouble arises. WiFi Manager
provides detailed history of associations and configuration changes for
reference at later point of time.
Web-based remote access
WiFi Manager offers a Web-based user interface making it easy for the IT
administrators to connect from anywhere using a standard HTML browser. Other
applications that do not offer Web client mandate administrators to carry them
in their laptops wherever they go to troubleshoot. WiFi Manager removes this
dependency and enables administrators to connect to the server from anywhere to
lookup for critical data or for a quick configuration change.
Scalable and robust solution
WiFi Manager is built over AdventNet’s flagship product Web NMS. Till date more
than 300 OEMs worldwide have used Web NMS platform to develop critical
applications across multiple domains including the best-in-class WLAN switch
management software Airespace Control System Software. The robustness of the
7-year-old Web NMS platform helps WiFi Manager in offering a highly scalable and
reliable product that meets enterprise needs.
Intrusion Prevention
Using Integrated RF sensors
WiFi Manager analyses the RF spectrum for all 802.11
conversations and identifies all types of intrusions including rogue access
points, rogue clients, rogue ad-hoc clients, MAC address spoofing etc.
Intrusions are notified to the administrators though colorcoded alarms as well
as email notifications.
