Controller AP

A Controller AP is any single Altitude 4511 that is conﬁg-

ured to operate as an RF controller. The Controller AP

provides a necessary set of management features

required for a small facility. Key features of the Controller

AP include:

• Automatic adoption of dependent APs

• Central conﬁguration for all APs

• Firmware upgrade on all APs

• One IP address for the network management. The

dependent APs are managed via a secure Layer 2

protocol. IP addresses can be assigned to depen-

dent APs if desired

• Central status and statistics for APs and connected

wireless clients

• IPS/IDS for rogue AP detection

• SmartRF for ecient spectrum management

and redundancy

– Automatic channel selection

– Automatic transmit power adjustment

– Neighbor AP recovery

• Fast roaming for mobile devices

• Role-based client access

• Layer 2 and Layer 3 access control

By default, an AP will be dependent if a Controller exists

in the network. Adoption is automatic.

A dependent AP obtains its conﬁguration from a proﬁle

stored on the Controller AP. Any manual conﬁguration

changes on a dependent AP will be overwritten by the

Controller upon reboot. Up to 24 dependent APs can be

connected to a Controller AP.
