Features and benefits
Management
• Wi-Fi Clear Connect
Provides a system-wide approach to delivering WLAN reliability by proactively determining
and adjusting to changing RF conditions; optimizes WLAN performance by detecting
interference from Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi sources—by using spectrum analysis capabilities
built into the specific access points (refer to the HP Access Point—Controller compatibility
matrix), identifying rogue activity and making decisions at a system-wide level.
• Advanced radio resource management
– Automatic radio power adjustments
Include real-time power adjustments based on changing environmental conditions and
signal coverage adjustment
– Automatic radio channel
Provides intelligent channel switching and real-time interference detection
– Intelligent client load balancing
Determines the number of clients across neighboring APs and adjusts client allocation
to balance the load
– Airtime fairness
Helps ensure equal RF transmission time for wireless clients
• Spectrum analysis
– Power/frequency spectrum analysis
Measures noise from IEEE 802.11 remote sources
– Signal detection/classification
Identifies source of RF interference; for example, Bluetooth, cordless phones, and
microwave ovens
– Evaluation of channel quality
Helps detect severe channel degradation and improves the reporting of poor
RF performance
• Automated work flows
– Initial controller settings
Defines basic operational settings for the controller; for example, network connections,
security settings, and system time
– Wireless network for employees
Enables setup of a new wireless network for employees; for example, network and security
settings, and basic voice and video settings
– Wireless network for guests
Provides wireless access for guest users; for example, network and security settings specific
to guest access
• Support for environments using Bonjour services
– Gateway
Allows discovery of Bonjour services located in a different layer-3 network
– HP Zerocast
Eliminates Bonjour multicast traffic from the WLAN enabling scalable deployment of Apple
devices with no performance impact on the Wi-Fi network
– Access control
Enables filters to be applied inbound and outbound (on the AP) to SSIDs, groups of or specific APs.
User based filtering can block Bonjour traffic until the user is authenticated
