Software Overview
The WS 2000 Wireless Switch software provides a fully integrated solution for managing
every aspect of connecting Wireless LANs (WLANs) to a wired network, and includes the
following components:
Operating System (OS) Services
OS Services determine how the WS 2000 Wireless Switch communicates with existing
network and operating system-centric software services, including:
• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
• Telnet and File Transfer Protocol (FTP/TFTP) servers
• The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) client, used to keep switch time
synchronized for Kerberos authentication
Cell Controller Services
The Cell Controller provides the ongoing communication between mobile units (MUs) on
the Wireless LAN (WLAN) and the wired network. Cell Controller services perform the
following:
• Initialize the Access Ports
• Maintain contact with Access Ports by sending a synchronized electronic “heartbeat” at
regular intervals
• Track MUs when they roam from one location to another
• Manage security schemes based on system configuration
• Maintain system statistics
• Store policies and Access Port information
