Wireless AP
Wireless APs are enterprise-class access points that deliver secure wireless access via the layer 3 tunnel
for enterprise deployments. They provide advanced RF capabilities, security, reliability and scalability.
The Wireless APs provide an unmatched level of flexibility and performance for complex, time-sensitive
functions including QoS, encryption and rogue AP detection.
The Wireless AP physically connects to a LAN infrastructure and establishes an IP connection with the
Summit WM Controller. The Wireless AP has no user interface — instead the Wireless AP is managed
through the Summit WM GUI. Global functions like configuration, roaming, security management, and
policy control are managed via the Summit WM GUI.
All communication between the Summit WM Controller and the Wireless AP is carried out using a
UDP-based protocol. The IP traffic, coming from the Wireless AP is encapsulated, and is directed to the
Summit WM Controller. The Summit WM Controller decapsulates the packets and routes them to the
appropriate destinations while managing sessions and applying policy.
The Wireless AP comes in the following three variants:
Altitude
AP
Outdoor AP (Siemens brand of outdoor AP)
Altitude 802.11n AP
Altitude AP
