1 Introduction

As a standalone access point, an Altitude™ 4700 Series Access Point provides small and medium-sized businesses with a consolidated wired and wireless networking infrastructure, all in a single device. The integrated router, gateway, firewall, DHCP and Power-over-Ethernet(PoE) simplify and reduce the costs associated with networking by eliminating the need to purchase and manage multiple pieces of equipment.

The access point is also designed to meet the needs of large, distributed enterprises by converging the functionality of a thick access point and thin access port into a single device. This mode enables the deployment of a fully featured intelligent access point that can be centrally configured and managed using an Extreme Networks® Wireless Controller in either corporate headquarters or a network operations center (NOC). In the event the connection between the access point and the wireless controller is lost, a Remote Site Survivability (RSS) feature ensures the delivery of uninterrupted wireless services at the local or remote site. All traffic between the adaptive access points and the wireless controller is secured though an IPSec tunnel. Additionally, compatibility with Extreme Networks Wireless Management Suite (WMS) allows you to centrally plan, deploy, monitor and secure large deployments.

If new to the Altitude 4700 Series Access Points or access point technology in general, refer to the Altitude 4700 Series Access Point Product Reference Guide to familiarize yourself with access point technology and the feature set exclusive to the Altitude 4700 family.
