Software Components

CSD Engine
Maintains all event and usage data, communicates with CSD Agents to deploy policies that manage network traffic and control WLAN user and application behavior. The CSD Engine also acts as an integration point for various back-end systems such as directory/AAA services. The CSD Engine runs on industry standard Intel-based Linux servers that can be flexibly deployed within existing network topologies, typically at the network core.

CSD Agent
Enforces access and bandwidth policies, monitors traffic, and sends usage reports to the Engine. A single Agent can supports up to 1GB of throughput. The CSD Agent runs on standard Intel-based Linux servers that can be flexibly deployed within existing network topologies, either near the network edge or at the network core. The CSD Agent can also be deployed at branch locations and be managed remotely.

CSD Control Console
The CSD Control Console is an all-in-one, highly intuitive web-based browser interface that provides tools to manage the entire network or any segment of the network, including users, applications, access points, access control and bandwidth management policies, and time, location or standby policies called ‘Modes’. In addition, the Control Console includes multiple real-time monitoring views of all WLAN activity as well as reporting functionality.

 Features

Security

Authentication
Via SSL encrypted web portal (also PDA-enabled)
Via MAC address, UserID/Password through on-board RADIUS
Employ one or more external authentication service such as RADIUS, LDAP,or Active Directory and protocol such as PEAP, LEAP, TTLS, 802.1x, or EAP-MD-5
Block or re-route unknown users (e.g., to walled garden for public Internet access)

Authorization
Deny access from ineligible users and devices to unauthorized applications
Flexible method for defining an application (e.g. by port, IP-port pair, subnet, etc.)

Rogue AP detection (requires separate server-based module)
Stateful Firewall
Blacklist and ‘Ignore’ list
DoS detection

Detailed Monitoring & Reporting

Real-time monitoring, display, and logging of all users and devices and their activity, permissions, status, and location
View by user, by group, by application, or by access point
View each access point’s configuration parameters (e.g., SSIDs, radio power, radio channel, Ethernet status, firmware version, etc.)
Pre-built statistical network utilization reports -– by user/by group/by application/by access point
Custom reporting
Can be exported to other network management and business tools such as CiscoWorks and HP Openview

Bandwidth Management
Patent-pending dynamic bandwidth conflict resolution mechanism specifically designed for WLANs at each access point
Can prioritize by user, group or application
All bandwidth is always optimally allocated – never static

Policy Management

Roles-based policies
MODES – Time driven and AP specific policies as well as standby
policies that can be manually invoked
Network/corporate wide policy setting with distributed and segmented
management capabilities for business units or departments
Remote management of branch or field offices
Optional AP specific policy management and monitoring capabilities

Guest Access Management

Restrict access to Walled Garden and apply authorization and
bandwidth controls
Does not require authentication or can employ encrypted web portal authentication

Support for Multiple Organizations

Multiple organizations, business units, departments, or groups
(segments) can operate as discrete entities on a single wireless
network
Each organization has its own segmented management interface

Public Access Management

Walled Garden with authorization and bandwidth controls
Website redirect
RADIUS accounting
Support for third-party billing systems

Support for Multiple VLANS

VLAN translation
Apply time and location-based policies for access and bandwidth
controls within and across VLANs

AP Configuration Management (requires separate module)

Centralized configuration of all key RF, security, and network settings
Logical groupings and job scheduling
Auto discovery of all APs

Open Architecture

 XML APIs facilitate simplified custom integration with backend
 systems and applications

High Availability

Hot redundant backup CSD Engine with automated failover
