Key Features

Configuration management

Assign and configure newly discovered Wireless Arrays or APs with default or pre-selected policies. Save time by using configuration templates the ability to apply those policies to individual or groups of Arrays/APs.

Station Assurance

Track, monitor and review station information including error rates, authentication failures, retry rates, data rates and more to simplify troubleshooting through an aggregated view of station assurance events.

Network Assurance

Continuously test both network management and customer facing vlans for functionality for all wireless Arrays on the network to ensure wired side connectivity to the end users.

Intrusion Detection

Aggregated view of the Wireless Array integrated IDS system monitors and alerts administrators on more than a dozen known wireless network attacks and impersonation attacks.

Detailed Wireless Array & Station Details

View detailed information on Wireless Arrays/APs and clients from the chosen devices perspective proving information on associations, uptime, system information, events and rogues.

Real-time monitoring

Consolidated dashboard view provides a real-time summary of throughput, array, radio (modular APs), station, security and alarm information with drill down filtering.

Wireless network mapping

Create you own hierarchical structure of Array groupings along with physical location maps to easily identify different locations.

Extensive Management Reports

Gain an understanding of the wireless network performance over time with highly detailed, pre-defined reports.

Security monitoring & management

Continuously monitor the wireless network for security threats, rogue access points, and other unauthorized devices. Automated alerts notify administrators upon discovery of potential rogue devices and threats.

Flexible deployment options

Choose from three options to best fit your operational requirements and data center environment. The Xirrus Management System (XMS) is available as an on-premise virtual application, Xirrus hosted public cloud option, or private cloud offering.
