WLAN Management and Planning

BlueView Management System

Bluesocket’s BlueView™ Management System simplifies WLAN management by providing true centralized configuration and maintenance, policy-management, and monitoring capabilities for BlueSecure™ Controllers and Access Points.

BlueView Management System Features and Benefits

• Auto-Discover Your WLANs – Simplify deployment and management by automatically discovering BlueSecure Controllers across a configurable range of IP addresses or networks.
• Schedule and Automate Maintenance Tasks - Automate BlueSecure Controller and Access Point maintenance and provisioning tasks such as backing up and restoring configurations, pushing out policy or configuration changes, upgrading system software, and installing software patches.
• Powerful Reporting - Allows administrators to create detailed inventory, user, login and users over time reports for individual BSCs or groups of BSCs.
• Enforce Centralized Policy Rollouts - Using BlueView’s powerful configuration template editor, you can define roles that enforce network usage policies and then push configurations out to either individual Controllers or groups of Controllers on your network to ensure uniform policy enforcement across your entire enterprise.
• RF Intrusion Prevention – Functionality includes the ability to detect and block rogue access points, ad-hoc users, and alert administrators to RF hacker attacks.
• Location & Coverage Maps - BlueView allows administrators to create location and coverage maps by importing floor plans and locating Access Points and Sensors on the map. Administrators can graphically visualize WLAN coverage on the actual floor plan and see power, channel, RSSI and AP user loads in real-time.

The BlueView™ Management System eliminates the labor-intensive task of configuring multiple devices deployed in multiple locations by enabling you to provision, configure, and manage all of your WLAN deployments remotely from a central location.

BlueView enables you to determine the location of rogue access points, users and attackers and graphically represents RF coverage.

Wireless LAN Planner

Installing a robust and reliable wireless network begins with a good solid design. A poorly designed network will suffer from coverage holes, poor service areas, slow response, poor voice quality, dropped calls, and inadequate capacity.

These challenges can be eliminated with an efficient design leveraging Bluesocket’s Wireless LANPlanner™ software. Leveraging patented technology from Motorola, this powerful software application enables users to efficiently and effectively plan, track, display and document their wireless network infrastructure.

Wireless LAN Planner Features and Benefits

• Design and Simulation - Enhances wireless network design by simulating the expected performance of your network and graphically displaying these results on a site-specific 2D/3D model.
• Site-specific 3D Modeling - Allows you to easily convert drawing files or paper floor plans into multiple-story building databases quickly and efficiently including specifications of the RF characteristics of walls and other obstructions from our extensive RF attenuation database. Iinstantly verify and record real-time network performance statistics directly from any wireless LAN client device.
• Asset Management and Network Troubleshooting - Electronically share, store and archive complete documentation about your wireless network performance, equipment location, cost and installation in a standard database.
