Extreme Networks Wireless Management Suite Reference Guide 9
2 Overview
The Extreme Networks Wireless Management Suite (WMS) is an intuitive, browser-based, network
management solution for management, troubleshooting and monitoring. RF heat maps display system
performance. Users can manage hundreds of sites (and thousands of devices), view the status and
location of wireless infrastructure devices and clients, search for specific pieces of equipment,
troubleshoot network issues, generate reports and export raw data.
WMS simplifies the management of your RF network with an intuitive Web-based user interface.
Network administrators with little or no RF experience can manage their Wi-Fi networks within a few
hours of installing WMS.
About WMS
WMS is a stand-alone Windows 2003 Server application providing users with the functionality to
research and define the physical design and intended performance of their RF infrastructure.
WMS is Extreme Networks Enterprise Wireless LAN network management solution. WMS provides a
single console from which you can monitor and analyze wireless networks using not only the WMS
resident interface feature set, but the robust feature sets of the Summit WMScanner application. Summit
WMScanner is bundled with WMS and is used as the tool for network device deployment, building
formatting and site surveys
WMS and Summit WMScanner provide a highly integrated toolset for network design, management
and survey. Summit WMScanner allows you to import building floorplans and measure performance
using its site survey capabilities. Summit WMScanner allows WMS to define new coverage areas,
generate updated floor plans and display device locations.
