Easy to use wireless network management for small networks
The
NETGEAR ProSafe 5-AP Wireless Management Software is an easy to use
tool to simplify the set up and maintenance of small wireless networks.
Supporting up to five access points, the WMS105 Software provides a
single location to configure and upgrade the entire wireless network.
Priced less than a single access point, the WMS105 software provides
significant time savings and simplifies the deployment of a wireless
network.
Deployment
Mimicking the set up process of a single access point, the easy to use
WMS105 Software enables even novice users to adopt a centralized
management architecture. With automatic discovery of all supported
access points in the network, the WMS105 Software speeds the
configuration of a multiple access point network.
Security
By centrally configuring all access points in the network, the WMS105
Software ensures identical wireless parameters and security settings
throughout the coverage area so that clients, guests and unwanted
intruders all get appropriate access to network resources. Setting up
WPA2 encryption keys to keep traffic safe from prying eyes and MAC
authentication lists to only allow approved devices on the wireless
network can be done once and sent out to the entire network. When used
with ProSafe Access Points, the WMS105 software can configure a guest
SSID for the wireless network to allow visitors safe access to the
Internet without allowing visibility to company files or resources.
Additionally, 802.1x network authentication can be applied for further
verification of clients’ rights to be on the network.
Access Points
Supporting a wide portfolio of standard NETGEAR access points, the
WMS105 Software enables customers to select the right access points for
their needs, even mixing models to provide the right coverage, as well
as an upgrade path as technology changes. The access points retain their
standalone capabilities and do not require a conversion to be managed
by the WMS105 software. Supported models include SOHO-class 802.11G
access points as well as professional caliber dual band 802.11N access
points.
