Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS) Event Reporting to AirWave
AirWave supports Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS) Event Reporting, which is
provided by SCALANCE W. This includes WIDS classification integration with the Rogue
Access Point Detection Software (RAPIDS) module. RAPIDS is a powerful and easy-to-use
tool for automatic detection of unauthorized wireless devices. It supports multiple methods of
rogue detection and uses authorized wireless APs to report other devices within range. The
WIDS report cites the number of IDS events for devices that have experienced the most
instances in the prior 24 hours and provides links to support additional analysis or
configuration in response.
RF Visualization Support for SCALANCE W
AirWave supports RF visualization for SCALANCE W. The VisualRF module provides a real-
time picture of the actual radio environment of your wireless network and the ability to plan
the wireless coverage of new sites. VisualRF uses sophisticated RF fingerprinting to
accurately display coverage patterns and calculate the location of every SCALANCE W
device in range. VisualRF provides graphical access to floor plans, client location, and RF
visualization for floors, buildings, and campuses that host your network.
