Software Specifications

Automatically discover and centrally manage APs, up to 100 APs can be managed

Automatically discover all APs working in Fit AP mode, and configure and manage APs in a unified manner, achieving zero-configuration access and plug-and-play.

A variety of network optimization functions to ensure the best online experience

Supports automatic channel adjustment. When the AP is started, it will automatically select the wireless channel with the least interference based on the surrounding wireless environment. Supports manual adjustment of AP transmission power to reduce mutual interference between APs and improve wireless network quality.

It supports weak signal elimination and can set a signal strength threshold to intelligently identify, prohibit, and kick out devices with signal strength below the specified level, thereby preventing weak signal devices from dragging down the efficiency of the entire wireless network and improving the quality of wireless roaming and the performance of the entire wireless network.

Supports spectrum navigation, intelligently allocates frequency bands for client connections, and guides dual-band wireless clients to associate with the 5GHz radio frequency first, avoiding network congestion caused by wireless terminals crowding the 2.4GHz channel.

Supports load balancing based on the number of access users. When the number of users between APs exceeds the set threshold, AC can dynamically adjust the uniform distribution of users between different APs to prevent individual APs from being overloaded.

AC side-mount networking, no need to change the existing network architecture, easy deployment

AC adopts side-by-side networking. For environments where the network has already been deployed, deployment can be completed without changing the existing network architecture, and it can be perfectly integrated with the existing network.

By adopting local forwarding technology, all data traffic directly enters the wired network for data exchange, breaking through the traffic bottleneck limitation of the wireless controller and adapting to the increasingly high transmission requirements of wireless network traffic.

AC and AP support both Layer 2 networking and cross-NAT Layer 3 networking with AP in the intranet and AC in the extranet. AC can remotely manage all APs across NAT.

Unified configuration of wireless network, support SSID and Tag VLAN mapping

Configure wireless network parameters uniformly on the AC, and all configurations will be automatically sent to all APs. The APs themselves do not need to be configured.

SSID can be flexibly associated with the AP's radio unit to meet a variety of business needs.

Supports mapping between SSID and Tag VLAN, realizes three-layer isolation between different SSIDs, suppresses broadcast storms, and can set different wireless encryption, network permissions and authentication methods for different SSIDs.

Realize fast roaming across APs to ensure a good Internet experience

When a wireless terminal moves between different APs in the same VLAN, the wireless name and wireless password must be the same, so that fast switching between different APs can be achieved, and fast cross-AP Layer 2 roaming can be realized.

Supports a variety of access authentication methods including WeChat Wi-Fi, SMS authentication, Web authentication, remote Post authentication, etc.

SMS authentication: Visitors need to enter their mobile phone number to receive SMS and pass the verification before they can access the Internet. It supports connecting with \third-party servers using the HTP protocol to complete SMS authentication, which is suitable for places that require real-name authentication.

Web authentication: It uses the built-in Web server of the wireless controller and the internal Portal authentication push page. Users authenticate through their account and static password. It is easy to deploy and can be promoted with customized pictures. It is suitable for small wireless environments.

Remote Post Authentication: Use an external WEB server, customize the Portal authentication push page and the authentication success jump page, and cooperate with the external authentication server and SMS server to implement multiple authentication methods such as static passwords and SMS dynamic passwords, and realize services such as advertising push.

MAC authentication: Only authenticated MAC addresses are allowed to access the wireless network, preventing unauthorized devices from accessing the network.

802.1X authentication: supports user-level identity authentication, realizes more refined wireless terminal access management, and ensures network security

Powerful security protection function to build a stable and secure wireless network

The security and stability of the wireless network is guaranteed through functions such as broadcast storm suppression, DHCP protection, ARP protection, and MAC address blacklist and whitelist.

Support setting AP scheduled restart, regularly clean up network junk and zombie clients, and ensure that AP always maintains good operating status.
