The WLS-1280 is a Wireless LAN Switch dedicatedly designed for small / medium-scale network environment. It enables administrators to effectively manage different categories of users based on self-defined policies. There is no need to change any configuration for client devices. The simplified deployment and administration eases the integration into existing wired and wireless networks.
With the Access Point (AP) management functions, the WLS-1280 is able to aggregate up to 12 controlled Access Points. The administrator can discover, configure, copy from template, update, and monitor all managed the APs from one single secured interface. Such design avoids the need to configure the devices one by one.
The WLS-1280 also provides the comprehensive security features. The authorized end-to-end communication for both wired and wireless network can prevent anonymous users to occupy the valuable bandwidth. The local VPN termination with client approach offers the highest level of wireless security without any hassle.
