RoamAbout Switch Manager
Network Administrators need powerful management tools to control configuration, permission
and security options for WLAN Switch/Thin Mode Access Point deployments. RoamAbout Switch
Manager (RASM) eliminates the complexity of managing an enterprise-scale WLAN. Using RASM,
the network administration can quickly and easily plan, configure, optimize and monitor the
complete WLAN switch infrastructure. RASM network management software is included with
every RoamAbout WLAN Switch from Enterasys.
No longer is it necessary to configure and manage each WLAN Switch or Access Point
individually—RASM can manage multiple switches as a single group, to dramatically improve
the scalability of WLAN management using existing IT resources. In addition the network
administration can create “template configurations” (to define user policies, access control lists
and so on) that are applied to groups of Switches and Access Points simultaneously.
From a Secure Networks
™
perspective, RASM provides actionable information that can be used
immediately to mitigate threats. For example, if a potential security vulnerability such as a rogue
Access Point is detected, RASM can eliminate the guesswork associated with finding this device
by automatically triangulating the rogue’s location and creating a “heat map” to guide the network
administrator to the target.
RASM also provides a powerful solution for managing guest user access using the optional
GuestPass plug-in. GuestPass may be used to grant temporary (both time limited and location
specific) WLAN access for guest users. This tool is particularly useful for corporate briefing
centers, and frees IT personnel from direct involvement each time a guest requires WiFi access.
RASM includes a topology Mapping Tool that can combine architectural floor plans with location
information for each Access Point to create dynamic color-coded physical maps of the WLAN
infrastructure. These maps graphically display wireless coverage patterns, including channel
selections, signal quality and communication speeds. The Mapping Tool can even make
adjustments for doors, walls, windows and other obstructions that might affect wireless coverage.
Feature-Rich Management Tools for
Precise WLAN Control
• The Mapping Tool provides
real-time, color-coded, physical
maps of the WLAN to enhance
administration and reduce
diagnostic time
• The RASM system provides locator
services to help pinpoint the
position of rogue Access Points and
users
• The optional GuestPass utility
simplifies guest-access provisioning
in conference rooms, lobbies and
public spaces
• The optional Planning Tool
calculates optimal Access Point
placement, channel settings and
transmit power levels
Powerful System-Wide Control for
Network Administrators
• Template-based configurations
allow simultaneous administration
of multiple WLAN Switches and
Access Points
• Powerful error-checking function
will not apply configurations with
known errors
User-Friendly Management Interface
• Client-server architecture enhances
flexibility
• Object-oriented user interface
minimizes learning curve
• No special software required to
run RASM client—interface uses
standard web browser
