Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar AP1101
OmniVista 2500 managed deployment
The AP1101 can be managed by Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista® 2500 on premise Network
Management System. The access points are managed as one or more AP groups (a logical
grouping of one or more access points). The OmniVista 2500 next generation management suite
embeds a visionary controller-less architecture, providing user friendly workows for Unied
Access together with integrated Unied Policy Authentication Manager (UPAM) which helps
dene authentication strategy and policy enforcement for employees, guest management and
BYOD devices. OmniVista 2500 provides advanced options for RF Management, wIDS/wIPS for
intrusion detection and prevention, and heatmap for WLAN site planning.
Plug and Play: Secure Web managed (HTTPS) cluster deployment
The OmniAccess AP1101 works in a fully redundant cluster architecture to provide simplied
plug-and-play deployments.
The access point cluster is an autonomous system that consists of a group of OmniAccess
AP1101s and a virtual controller, which is a selected access point, for cluster management. One
AP cluster of only AP1101 can scale up to 32 access points. The AP cluster can also scale up to
64 access points when mixed with other AP models.
The access point cluster architecture ensures simplied and quick deployment. Once the rst
AP is congured using the conguration wizard, the remaining APs in the network will come
up automatically with an updated conguration. This ensures that the whole network is up and
functional within a few minutes.
The OmniAccess AP1101 also supports zero-touch provisioning with Alcatel-Lucent OXO Connect
R2, a mechanism by which all access points in a cluster will obtain bootstrap data securely from
an on-premise OXO Connect.
Integrated guest management
The OmniAccess AP1101 supports role based management access to the AP cluster which
includes Admin, Viewer and GuestOperator access.
GuestOperator access simplies guest account creation and management, and therefore can
be used by any non-IT person, such as a front desk or receptionist. The OmniAccess AP1101
also supports a built-in customizable captive portal which enables customers to offer unique
guest access.
Quality of service for unied communication apps
The OmniAccess AP1101 supports ne tuned, quality of service (QoS) parameters to differentiate
and provide appropriate QoS for each application such as voice, video and desktop sharing.
Application aware RF scanning avoids interruption of real-time applications.
RF management
Radio Dynamic Adjustment (RDA) technology automatically assigns channels and power settings,
provides DFS/TPC, and ensures that access points stay clear of all radio frequency interference
(RFI) sources to deliver reliable, high-performance wireless LANs. The OmniAccess AP1101
can be congured to provide part-time or dedicated air monitoring for spectrum analysis and
wireless intrusion protection.
