◗ MIBs and Secure Remote Management
Access/One Network supports the 802.11 MIB (Management Information
Base), as well as various Strix proprietary MIBs. Any MIB I or MIB II compliant
SNMP management console (such as CiscoWorks or HP OpenView) can be
used to manage your network remotely and securely. Network management
sessions running through SSH (Secure SHell) or HTTPs (secure HTTP) ensures
that the session is fully encrypted and cannot be compromised by
unauthorized users.
◗ Multiple Ethernet Segments
Network servers operate across existing Ethernet switches, routers, hubs and
other wired Ethernet segments without the need for special equipment or
VLAN tagging.
◗ Network Server Security
Management traffic on the Ethernet between the network server and module
is automatically encrypted to prevent “listening” on the LAN/WAN. When set
to the automatic mode, the network server will communicate with wireless
modules over an unencrypted connection while maintaining a secure
connection throughout the rest of the wired network.
◗ Power-over-Ethernet (IWS only)
Each network node uses a Base Module that provides power via an external
AC adapter, and includes up to four 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports for wired
network connectivity. When present, one of the Ethernet ports supports
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) technology. PoE eliminates the need for a power
cord by delivering the necessary power to a device via a standard CAT5
Ethernet cable.
◗ Priority/One
User-definable Class of Service (CoS) filters enforce end-to-end Quality of
Service characteristics throughout the Strix network, including VLAN
priorities, IP TOS and IP Protocol. CoS classifies packets by examining their
parameters or CoS markings, then placing packets in queues of different
priorities based on predefined criteria.
