Overview of the WFS709TP 1-7

v1.0, June 2007

Your network can include one master WFS709TP, one or more backup master WFS709TPs, and

any number of local WFS709TPs. Master WFS709TPs do not share information with each other,

so APs that share roaming tables, security policies, and other configurations should be managed by

the same master WFS709TP.

WFS709TP Software

The WFS709TP ProSafe Smart Wireless Switch software is a suite of mobility applications that

runs on all WFS709TPs and allows you to configure and manage the wireless and mobile user

environment.
