HP Intelligent Management Center Wireless Services Manager Software

Product overview

HP Intelligent Management Center (IMC) is a modular, comprehensive resource management platform. With its extensive device support, IMC provides true end-to-end management for the entire network, and entire operation cycle.

An optional IMC module, IMC Wireless Services Manager (WSM) software provides unified management of wired and wireless networks, adding network management functions into existing wired network management systems. WSM software offers wireless LAN (WLAN) device configuration, topology, performance monitoring, RF heat mapping, and WLAN service reports.

IMC WSM software facilitates centralized control over your wireless network, even if it is geographically dispersed. This reduces the time needed to deploy configuration changes and provides uniformity throughout your WLAN infrastructure.

Intuitive, easy-to-use interface
Unified wired and wireless device management
Range of topology management modes
Low maintenance costs and low TCO

Management

WLAN device management — IMC WSM software supports the HP MSM series of WLAN devices, including controllers, fit access points (APs), and fat APs
WLAN device management —
- access controller list
- access controller detail information
- fit/fat AP list
- fit/fat AP detail information
Wireless status view — WSM software displays key information in one place; for controllers it maintains status on mobility activity, DHCP server, VPNs, ports, VLANs, IPSec, and RADIUS; for APs, the software provides details on usage at the client level down to the CPU load level and across neighbors and local meshes; provides north-south status views (high-level health down to detailed status of services such as your RADIUS running on controllers)
WLAN management — automatically displays WLAN SSIDs in your network, compares performance, and relates APs to the WLAN by SSID
Batch configuration wizard — the batch configuration wizard can help users configure the WLAN network step by step, including WLANs, AP groups, and radio parameters
Topology—access controller and fit AP logical topology — displays logical and physical views of WLAN by AP, controller, or WLAN, and view status as well as detailed information in real time; provides links to quickly click and find device location
Location views — location topology feature shows the physical position for each AP and supports the JPG/PNG format background image; RF coverage displays the radio frequency coverage area of each AP to help you locate the problem of slow access speed or network access failure; you can then redeploy APs or adjust radio power or channel parameters to achieve the best signal coverage with the lowest cost
RF predictor —
- shows area coverages so you can predict the coverage before buying or moving APs
- antennas shape direct signals so you can play with antenna types and add in obstacles to plan for best performance
- predicts best placement of APs based on scale and obstacles you provide
- send and save your RF plan using popular file formats
Client management — because connection issues require information about your client, WSM software tracks client connection history, and provides top-down (AP-to-client) and client-to-AP views to ease troubleshooting processes
Performance monitoring — WSM software displays graphs and performance charts for wireless devices status, wireless alarms statistics, online client trending, and AP traffic monitoring; users can define tasks to monitor performance items of interest
WLAN reports — provide AP statistics, radio statistics, client statistics, and traffic statistics
Wireless terminal trace display — logs the online and offline records of a wireless terminal and uses these records to display the movements of the wireless terminal in the location view
WDS/mesh management — WSM software displays local mesh neighborhood and local mesh link infomation
PoE port management — to facilitate management, WSM software can automatically learn which APs are connected to a switch's PoE ports, enabling control of those PoE ports; set the fault AP to perform a cold restart, which will be a fast resume
Google Maps™ integration — with WSM software support for Google Maps integration, users can add hotspots (such as Starbucks) to the map, view the number of APs and clients in the hotspot, and jump to the location topology from the hotspot to view detailed information
NEW Wireless intrusion detection integration — helps manage the intrusion detection system at the controller level
NEW Support for HP MSM radio resource management — provides configuration management of radio resources, including auto power, auto channel, and scheduling
NEW Location-based services — locate MSM APs and connected clients
