Nevertheless ensuring that all users and stations comply with these security measures continues to grow as the major issue for wireless networks. AirMagnet Sensors address this gap by auditing and validating the security of every Wi-Fi device in the network, providing managers with an easy process to insure all users employ the appropriate level of security. -
Page 9: Lock In Network Performance
WLANs must both have predictable performance and be highly reliable before being considered industrial grade. The AirMagnet Enterprise System addresses this need with a suite of alarms and diagnostics that detect network faults and configuration errors that can lead to outages in the network. -
Page 10: Enable Remote Troubleshooting And Active Tools
Enable Remote Troubleshooting and Active Tools Using the Remote UI built into the AirMagnet Management Console, Users can leverage a growing collection of active troubleshooting tools to pinpoint problems in the network. These tools allow the User to remotely test throughput on a particular AP, diagnose connection problems, and perform Layer 3dDebugging and end-to-end provisioning. -
Page 11: Airmagnet Sensor Operation Modes
Configuration Mode The Airmagnet Sensor can be configured both with a serial command line interface (CLI) and secure HTTPS communications with a remote browser. Key parameters that need to be configured prior to placing the sensor online include provisioning of the unit’s network addressing, the server’s network addressing, and the secret key needed for connection to the... -
