Elements of the solution
To allow the wireless devices to communicate with computers on a wired network, the access
points must be connected to the wired network providing access to the networked computers.
This topology is called bridging. With bridging, security and management scalability is often a
concern.
Figure 1 Standard wireless network solution example
The wireless devices and the wired networks communicate with each other using standard
networking protocols and addressing schemes. Most commonly, Internet Protocol (IP)
addressing is used.
3.2 Elements of the solution
The Controller, Access Points and Convergence Software solution consists of two devices:
HiPath Wireless Controller
wireless APs
This architecture allows a single HiPath Wireless Controller to control many Wireless APs,
making the administration and management of large networks much easier.
There can be several HiPath Wireless Controllers in the network, each with a set of registered
Wireless APs. The HiPath Wireless Controllers can also act as backups to each other, providing
stable network availability.
In addition to the HiPath Wireless Controllers and Wireless APs, the solution requires three
other components, all of which are standard for enterprise and service provider networks:
RADIUS Server (Remote Access Dial-In User Service) or other authentication server
DHCP Server (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
