This comprehensive wireless network management software package contains all the features you need to successfully plan, configure, deploy, and manage an enterprise-class wireless LAN. As an integral part of the 3Com® Wireless LAN Mobility System, the 3Com Wireless Switch Manager software works with 3Com wireless LAN controllers and switches to centrally manage and control 3Com managed access points (MAPs) for networks demanding complex deployments, with multiple offices or with highly secure WLAN requirements.

The planning portion of this powerful application lets you import site floor plans in a variety of file formats and automatically configure your site for capacity and coverage using the built-in Virtual Site Survey that accounts for a large variety of common RF(Radio Frequency) obstacles. During wireless network deployment, configuration templates are quickly replicated and verified. With a single click your network is set up, as, configurations are pushed to multiple wireless LAN switches, controllers, and managed access points via secure HTTP.

Once installation is complete, the Wireless LAN Switch Manager enables simple and accurate operation of your entire wireless LAN enabling you to stay aware of all air space activities including detecting and locating rogue access points, ad-hoc networks or other RF interferers. Additionally, the manager can automatically adjust MAP power to eliminate coverage gaps and further optimize RF performance.

Building on 3Com's strong wireless security features, 3Com Wireless Switch Manager can fully manage, secure and track on a per-user or per-group basis to all services on the wireless network. With this Identity-Based Networking capability, IT managers can have confidence in the enhanced security of their wireless LAN networks through improved user group authenticated access control, consistently enforced roaming policies, and monitored bandwidth usage.
