Alcatel OmniAccess 1200R Specifications

Alcatel OmniAccess 1200R Remote Edge Access Point
The Alcatel OmniAccess 1200R remote edge access point extends Alcatel's security,
performance, and RF management capabilities to enterprise branch offices. Similar
to the Alcatel OmniAccess 1200, the OmniAccess 1200R works in conjunction with
Alcatel OmniAccess 4000 WLAN switches and OmniAccess 4100 WLAN appliances to
deliver IT managers and network operators a scalable, intelligent solution to meet
all of their Wi-Fi infrastructure needs.
The Alcatel OmniAccess 1200R remote edge access point communicates with wireless LAN
(WLAN) switches and appliances via a wide area network (WAN) link, enabling it to be
deployed without a locally connected switch or appliance. This enables easy RF
management of remote facilities, and ensures that WLAN capabilities can be extended to
distributed locations with minimal hardware investment.
The OmniAccess 1200R requires no manual configuration. It leverages the Lightweight
Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) to detect the best WLAN switch or appliance via a low-speed
wide area link (i.e., T1, frame relay, etc.) After associating with a switch or appliance, all of
the appropriate WLAN configuration information is pushed from the WLAN
switches/appliances to the OmniAccess 1200R. This enables IT managers to control SSIDs,
security parameters, and even software upgrades from a data center.
Alcatel's powerful AirView software is used to dynamically adjust the parameters on the
OmniAccess 1200R, enabling it to adapt to changing RF conditions, including channel
assignments and transmission power. By handling both traffic delivery and air monitoring
functions simultaneously, the OmniAccess 1200R automatically tracks wireless devices and
provides real-time wireless intrusion protection for seamless and secure WLAN operation.
