WMS105 Overview:
Easy to use wireless network management for small networks
The NETGEAR ProSafe 5-AP Wireless Management Software is an easy to use tool to simplify the set up and maintenance of small wireless networks. Supporting up to fi ve access points, the WMS105 Software provides a single location to confi gure and upgrade the entire wireless network. Priced less than a single access point, the WMS105 software provides signifi cant time savings and simplifi es the deployment of a wireless network.
Deployment
Mimicking the set up process of a single access point, the easy to use WMS105 Software enables even novice users to adopt a centralized management architecture. With automatic discovery of all supported access points in the network, the WMS105 Software speeds the confi guration of a multiple access point network.
Security
By centrally confi guring all access points in the network, the WMS105 Software ensures identical wireless parameters and security settings throughout the coverage area so that clients, guests and unwanted intruders all get appropriate access to network resources. Setting up WPA2 encryption keys to keep traffi c safe from prying eyes and MAC authentication lists to only allow approved devices on the wireless network can be done once and sent out to the entire network. When used with ProSafe Access Points, the WMS105 software can confi gure a guest SSID for the wireless network to allow visitors safe access to the Internet without allowing visibility to company fi les or resources. Additionally, 802.1x network authentication can be applied for further verifi cation of clients’ rights to be on the network.
Access Points
Supporting a wide portfolio of standard NETGEAR access points, the WMS105 Software enables customers to select the right access points for their needs, even mixing models to provide the right coverage, as well as an upgrade path as technology changes. The access points retain their standalone capabilities and do not require a conversion to be managed by the WMS105 software. Supported models include SOHO-class 802.11G access points as well as professional caliber dual band 802.11N access points.

Technical Specifications:
| Technical Specifications | |
|---|---|
| ACCESS POINT DISCOVERY | |
| Automatic Discovery | MAC address automatic discovery method if the Wireless Management Software and all the wireless access points on the LAN are in the same IP subnet |
| IP Discovery | If the Wireless Management Software and the wireless access points are in different IP networks, then IP discovery can be used to find the access points for each subnet, one subnet at a time |
| ACCESS POINT MANAGEMENT | |
| Managed Access Point Assignment | After the Wireless Management Software discovers the access points, they can be “added” and set “ managed” by the Wireless Management Software |
| Access Point Information Edition | Name (modifiable), model (cannot be modified), user name for logging in to the access point (cannot be modified), password (modifiable) |
| WIRELESS CONFIGURATION - RF | |
| Centralized Automatic RF Management* | Allocates access point channels and RF power based on each access point performance in the local environment. For example, if an access point experiences interference on a channel, the Wireless Management Software allocates a different channel to that access point |
| RF Management Schedule | Channel allocation can be scheduled on a per day/per week basis, once a day at a specified time |
| Client Aware RF Management* | If enabled, the Wireless Management Software will not modify the channel for an access point with associated clients that would be impacted by the channel change. The Wireless Management Software will wait for the next scheduled channel allocation to adjust the channel |
| Usage-aware RF Management | If enabled, the Wireless Management Software will not modify the channel for an access point that is switching more than 1 Mbps of wireless data traffic |
| Custom RF Settings | Radio mode preference and 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band selection for each access point |
| Advanced Wireless Settings for Access Point Groups | If centralized automatic RF management disabled, for each radio band (802.11b/bg/ng and 802.11a/na) the Wireless Management Software can centrally configure each access point with common settings: turn radio on, wireless mode, MCS index/data rate, channel width (11n only), guard interval (11n only), output power, RTS threshold (0-2347), fragmentation length (256-2346), beacon interval (100-1000), aggregation length (1024-65535, 11n only), AMPDU (11n only), RIFS transmission (11n only), enable Wi-Fi Multimedia™ (WMM), DTIM interval (1 and 255), preamble type (11b/bg only), access point channel |
| WIRELESS CONFIGURATION - QOS | |
| WMM Quality of Service* | WMM automatically prioritizes traffic for both upstream traffic from the stations to the access points (station EDCA parameters) and downstream traffic from the access points to the client stations (AP EDCA parameters) |
| WIRELESS CONFIGURATION - SECURITY | |
| Security Profiles Lists | Up to 8 (eight) security profiles per radio can be configured for all the managed access points. |
| Security Profiles settings | Name, wireless network name (SSID), broadcast wireless network name, network authentication (Open, Shared Key, Legacy 801.1X WPA and WPA2 with RADIUS, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), data encryption (none, WEP, TKIP, AES, TKIP+AES), wireless client security separation (wireless clients cannot communicate each other), VLAN ID |
| MAC Authentication* | Block the network access privilege of the specified stations through all managed access points |
| Local MAC Address Database* | The managed access points use the local MAC address table in WMS105 for access control |
| Remote MAC Address Dabase (Radius)* | The managed access points use the MAC address table on an external 802.1x Radius server on the LAN for access control. |
| 801.1x RADIUS Server Settings* | Four types of 801.x Radius Server can be configured:
|
| Guest Access* | Guest access settings are useful when configuring a public wireless network. The guest access feature is not a captive portal. Guest access settings aim to:
When guest access is configured, it redirects the first HTTP (TCP, port 80) request to the external default guest access page |
| Rogue Access Point Detection* | Unidentified access points that use the SSID of a legitimate network can present a serious security threat. Rogue access point detection is enabled by default on all the managed access points. To detect rogue access points, the managed access points scan the wireless environment on all available channels, looking for unidentified access points |
| WIRELESS NETWORK MONITORING | |
| Monitoring Summary | Summary of the managed access points status, rogue access points detected, wireless stations connected, and WMS105 system information |
| Managed Access Point Status | Displays status of the managed access points that includes total number of access points, number of down access points, and healthy/major/ critical status of pingable access points. Advanced monitoring per access point provides complete read-only status of current settings and associated wireless clients |
| Rogue Access Points* | Basic status displays the count of rogue or neighboring access points discovered by the managed access points (instantly and in the last 24 hours):
|
| Wireless Client Status | The client status list specifies detailed information about each client node currently associated with managed access points |
| MANAGEMENT | |
| Management Interface | Windows® user interface, SNMP v1/v2c for external SNMP monitoring, telnet and Secure Shell (SSH) for remote access |
| Log Delivery* | Logs are available for manual download (log export file) |
| Diagnostics | Managed Access Points Ping |
| Maintenance | Save/restore configuration, WMS105 admin password change, firmware upgrade via Web browser for the Wireless Management Software and the managed access points, access points reboot |
| SNMP (Wireless Management Software) | SNMP v1/v2c |
