Features and Benefits
Security
With the highest security standards, WLA Series Wireless LAN
Access Points support all relevant encryption methods, including
Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 based on 802.11i (WPA2) and Wi-Fi
Protected Access (WPA) in both enterprise (802.1X) and personal
(pre-shared key) modes. There are no encryption keys, security
credentials, or data stored locally, which eliminates any security
risk if stolen or connected to an unauthorized network.
RF Management
The WLA Series plays a key role in rogue and intrusion detection
as well as denial of service (DoS) attack detection. The WLA
Series access points provide simultaneous support for both access
service and spectrum analysis. This ensures early detection of
common RF interferers and also allows for appropriate corrective
actions to mitigate loss of performance due to interference.
ActiveScan allows the WLA Series access points to fulfill a dual
role, as the system scans all 802.11 channels while simultaneously
providing wireless connectivity to mobile clients. SentryScan
allows the WLA Series access points or individual access point
radios to act as dedicated sentries, providing continuous scanning.
