Simple installation
TheWLANManagementSoftware
system can be used to map the location
of access points based on the expected
number of users and type of applications
beingaccessed.TheWLANManagement
Software system will also calculate each
access point’s ideal configuration and push
it out to the WLAN Security Switches
which automatically configure the access
points upon installation. The access points

Resiliency and QoS for voice
and multimedia applications
The WLAN 2300 series Access Points
are designed to deliver reliable service for
voice and multimedia applications and
featureredundantEthernetportsthat
allow for a backup network connection
if the primary port fails for any reason.
To deliver the best user experience,
the access point classifies traffic into
multiple user and group queues based
on AAA-defined QoS policies, SVP or
DiffServ classifications. The access point
does not store any sensitive security
information locally, making it safe for
unsecured areas, and if theft is still a
concern, then each access point can
be physically locked down using the
Kensington
™
lock interface. To prevent
tampering, each access point is authenti-
cated to a WLAN Security Switch upon
installation and all subsequent control
traffic is encrypted.
RF scanning to prevent
unauthorized activity
The WLAN 2300 series Access Points can
perform scheduled or automated RF scans
to search for unauthorized 802.11 devices
and detect RF attacks. Access Points can
run periodic sweeps of all channels in the
active radio band while simultaneously
providing mobile connectivity, or they can
act as dedicated RF monitors and scan all

The WLAN Access Point
2332 can create wireless
backhaul links with its
neighbors for simpler
installations and bridging
applications.
Figure 9. Local trafc forwarding
The WAP 2332 has the unique ability to import a user’s policies from the
WSS and forward trafc locally, outside of the WSS tunnel. This option can
improve system capacity by ofoading the WSS of excessive data trafc
and can improve performance by creating shorter data paths.
