RingMaster, 1000 devices, 3 Year, Renewal
An award-winning, full-featured client server application, RingMaster™ from Trapeze Networks enables IT organizations to perform pre- and post deployment planning, configuration, and monitoring, of the Trapeze Mobility System™ wireless LAN infrastructure as well as create detailed reports.
RingMaster™ provides live or off-line changes and gives the user the power to deploy or roll back configurations atomically across the entire network, on demand, in a few clicks of a mouse. Ringmaster features a Wizard-based Virtual Site Survey™ and automated capacity planning tools greatly simplify the RF planning stage, no RF expertise is required. AutoCAD DXF™, AutoCAD DWG, JPEG or GIF floor plan files may all be imported to design wireless LANs offline. RingMaster includes a library of radio frequency (RF) attenuators defined for building obstacles, including many types of doors, walls, ceilings, and other physical obstructions. Custom RF obstacles may also be defined. RingMaster factors in the impact these objects have on how RF signals flow through a given facility.
RingMaster automatically determines how many Trapeze Mobility Point™ (MP™) radios or Trapeze Open Access Point Initiative (OAPI) compliant 3rd Part Access Points need to be installed in any part of a building, taking into consideration the RF obstacles and, optionally, a capacity plan based on the number of users and their bandwidth demands.
A detailed work order that shows exactly where to install Trapeze Mobility Points is created by the system and scores of Trapeze Mobility Exchange™ (MX™) switches and thousands of MPs are automatically configured in one step, including security policies, radio channel and power settings, and roaming profiles for users. RingMaster also provides automatic verification of any configuration updates, ensuring that network changes do not introduce errors.
RingMaster greatly simplifies the operation of the wireless LAN. Stay air-aware with RF topology mapping and optimization; coverage hole mitigation, continuous, scheduled, or on-demand rogue detection; network wide event reporting, user monitoring, location awareness, and packet tracing; as well as complete RF management and monitoring of network usage patterns to protect against unwanted intrusions and denial of service (DoS) attacks RingMaster also detects, identifies, and locates rogue access points (APs), their users, DoS and probe attacks, as well as 802.11 ad hoc networks. In addition, RingMaster features server based user and network statistic collection. Graphical data displays include user sessions, network activity, RADIUS server and AAA activity as well as RF health and coverage.
