Cisco AP 541N business class wireless access point with clustering technology that let you manage multiple access points implementation in one single point location.

Implementation of multiple wireless access points in a large network is complicated and is not easy to manage or to maintain. Installing one AP device to cover large area is not possible especially in large building with many walls such as the campuses, schools or large office building. Too many walls that the signal must pass through will limit the range coverage. Therefore, multiple wireless access devices need to install to cover large area and eliminating dead spots.

Setting up and configuring multiple AP devices would be a lot of works to complete especially when you need to do it one by one. Cisco AP 541N wireless access point is an ideal solution for large environment when you need to implement multiple devices to cover large area.

Cisco AP541N wireless access point is a business class AP with clustering technology. Clustering technology allows you centralize a single point of administration for multiple access point deployments that will help you easily to set-up, configure and run your network.

Wireless access point with clustering technology is able to form a dynamic, configuration-aware group (called a cluster) with other similarly designed access points in the same network and subnet. All access points in the cluster self-organize, cloning configuration settings from one access point to another and balancing wireless channels to minimize radio interference. You can manage and configure all the access point devices as a single wireless network rather than as a collection of individual devices. You don’t need a wireless controller to centralize all the wireless APs and centralize the management. Clustering will help you and manage all the AP devices centrally to ease you do the administration.

Cisco AP 541N with clustering allows you share the following information within the cluster

• Wireless network identifier (SSID)
• Security features, such as encryption settings, access lists, MAC address filters, User names and passwords
• Quality of service (QoS) settings
• Radio settings
• Wireless interface settings
• Guest welcome screen

Cisco AP 541N supports Guest network. Guest network is a separate network which is designed to provide internet access to the guests or visitors that come to your office without the need of granting access to your network resources. It’s something like a separate security boundary within your private / internal network. You can setup the guest network using the graphical user interface (GUI) in an easy to follow wizard.

Cisco AP 541N wireless access point is powered by the recent wireless 802.11n technology and supports the selectable dual band. It means that the AP can only support a single band in a time. You cannot connect mix wireless clients with different bands. If you have many wireless clients which operate with mix bands either 2.4GHz or 5GHz band, you cannot accommodate them all at the same time.

Like other business class AP, Cisco AP 541N supports WPA/WPA2, rogue AP detection, acces control lists and MAC address filtering. You can operate the device either as a standalone or part of a large network. In a large network when your business grows, you can easily add the AP device to meet yur business need while at the same time minimizing the costs. You can install the device in area where power outlet is not available yet (such as in ceilings) because the device supports PoE (power over Ethernet).

Cisco AP 541N wireless access point with clustering technology is an ideal solution for large network which supports business class security features to protect your network.
