Functional overview

The bintec WLAN Controller ™offers the following advantages for an easier management of your WLAN infrastructure:

Wizard-guided quick installation in five steps
Automatic recognition and installation of new devices
VLAN and Multi SSID support
Integrated 802.11abgn support
Optimised roaming characteristics for VoWLAN
Centralised management of all Access Points:
- Easy modification of settings for all APs
- Any modification, e.g. of the SSIDs, immediately applies to all APs
Access Points installed at public locations no longer are a security risk:
- Network keys and passwords are not saved on the AP and hence cannot fall into unauthorised hands through AP theft
- Any direct AP (configuration) access is blocked by the WLAN controller
Automated frequency management:
- Integrated channel plan, for non-overlapping frequency assignment
- Interference reduction through intelligent frequency assignment
- Consideration of foreign access points (neighbor APs)
Monitoring:
- Access point operation
- Client activity
- Recognition and display of undesired access points (neighbor access points)
E-mail Alert in case of failure of a managed access points
Scheduler based actions (e.g. overnight shutdown of the WLAN)
Configuration Management: The configuration is centrally saved and automatically reassigned to APs, e.g. after loss of power.
Centralised firmware updates
