Offering a Rich Technology Base
Access/One Network provides many technology features, most of which are
transparent to the user but nonetheless instrumental to the smooth and efficient
operation of the network. In addition to some of the key features and functionality
already mentioned, here are just a few more, organized alphabetically and by
functional area:
IWS and OWS Hardware
◗ Dual Band Radio Modules
The OWS supports dual band radio module configurations, where a single
module offers 4.9 GHz Public Safety/802.11a and 802.11g wireless
technologies. IWS modules operate as either 802.11a or 802.11g radios (not
both).
◗ Integrated Base Module and Lightning Protection (OWS only)
By integrating the Base Module and lightning protection circuitry, power
distribution within the OWS enclosure is more efficient and the expansion
capability of the module stack has been broadened.
◗ Minimal Mechanical Components
Both the IWS and OWS have been designed with minimal mechanical
components to reduce the risk of mechanical failure, while maintaining the
highest standards of construction and durability.
Manager/One
◗ Configurable Tools
Users can configure tools within Manager/One to help them personalize their
use of the interface and use it more efficiently and effectively.
◗ Intuitive Mouse-Over
An intuitive mouse-over feature assists you with navigation and provides
detailed information at your fingertips. For example, when you roll over an
icon, the color of the icon changes and a pop-up window appears that
contains important information about the device associated with the icon.
