Control• Who gets access at each point in the building• What services are provided? Are users networked or isolated?• Managing users as groups is more efficient than as individuals

Performance• Control how WiFi bandwidth is used by each group of users

Cost of solution• Hardware costs• Management costs – ability to reconfigure to respond

Plan on 15-25 simultaneous users per AP

What is meant by “Roaming”?

User is out of office, eg in a

Meeting Room

But Medusa ‘Roams’ the user back to their office

Wireless Security

Wifi Coverage Zone 1

Hacker “snoops” traffic from outside building or public space

User 1

User 2

User 2 can “see” User 1’s files and identity – sometimes desirable (meeting), sometimes not.

Who is User 1 ? Does he/she have rights of access

HackerCheap AP, no security, and no controls

WiFi creates many threats that a wired connection doesn’t have...

You know where your Access Points are

Each AP has a name to refer to, making it easy to work with it

Medusa web based management

Control Security for Each Group

Entry Function

SSID Broadcast identity of Group of Users seen by wireless user

Passphrase Requested of user to register with Access Point

Hide Make SSID invisible to all – you need to know its name to access it

Security/Encryption Method of security & Encryption chosen

Separation If checked, users cannot network together, only access Internet/Printers

Without Medusa you would need to log on to each AP individually and learn how to change all these settings.

Allocate User Groups to Access Points (APs)

Access Points may carry different groups of users.

Allocate Groups of Users against APs here.

Each AP can carry 4 groups.
