Datasheet

Advanced features
• RF management
- Adaptive Radio Management™ (ARM) technology
automatically assigns channel and power settings,
provides airtime fairness and ensures that APs stay
clear of all sources of RF interference to deliver
reliable, high-performance WLANs.
- 200 Series APs can be congured to provide
part-time or dedicated air monitoring for spectrum
analysis and wireless intrusion protection, VPN
tunnels to extend remote locations to corporate
resources, and wireless mesh connections where
Ethernet drops are not available.
• Spectrum analysis
- Capable of part-time or dedicated air monitoring,
the spectrum analyzer remotely scans the 2.4GHz
and 5GHz radio bands to identify sources of RF
interference.
• Security
- With an OpenDNS service subscription, Dell Instant
RAPs deliver integrated web ltering, malware and
botnet protection to every device connected to the
WLAN.
- Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure
storage of credentials and keys.
- SecureJack-capable for secure tunneling of wired
Ethernet trac.
