Software Overview

The WS 2000 Wireless Switch software provides a fully integrated solution for managing every aspect of connecting Wireless LANs (WLANs) to a wired network, and includes the following components:

Operating System (OS) Services

OS Services determine how the WS 2000 Wireless Switch communicates with existing network and operating system-centric software services, including:

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

Telnet and File Transfer Protocol (FTP/TFTP) servers

The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) client, used to keep switch time synchronized for Kerberos authentication

Cell Controller Services

The Cell Controller provides the ongoing communication between mobile units (MUs) on the Wireless LAN (WLAN) and the wired network. Cell Controller services perform the following:

Initialize the Access Ports

Maintain contact with Access Ports by sending a synchronized electronic “heartbeat” at regular intervals

Track MUs when they roam from one location to another

Manage security schemes based on system configuration

Maintain system statistics

Store policies and Access Port information
