Description

The EnGenius EWS7928FP is a Neutron managed wireless solution, full power 24-Port Gigabit PoE+ Layer2 switch (370W). It contains 4 dual-speed SFP ports and supply up to 50 Neutron series wireless access points to provide a single location with which to configure the entire wireless network. The EWS7928FP is the ideal solution for businesses and schools, delivering centralized management via an intuitive interface - without the costs that accompany full-service wireless controllers. With a single entry of wireless parameters and security settings that can be simultaneously applied to all wireless access points on the network, the system dramatically simplifies the deployment and daily management of the wireless network. Configuration changes can easily be applied to multiple access points or to the entire system simultaneously.

Once a Neutron series access point has been connected to a Neutron series switch, that access point immediately becomes discoverable on the network through the switch’s wireless management GUI (Graphical User Interface). The IT manager or network administrator then has the option to include that AP in the network and configure it accordingly.

The EWS7928FP includes a clustering feature which pairs access points together to form a group within the subnet of a network. A cluster provides a single point of administration and enables the deployment of access points as a single group within a wireless network instead of a series of separate devices. This makes it easier for IT administrators to deploy, administer, and secure a wireless network. Clusters are ideal for multiple building deployments where specific buildings require special configurations from the rest of the network. Bulk firmware upgrades enable access points on the network to be updated simultaneously, saving time and resources. This while the switch’s monitoring features help IT administrators even further by providing statistics, real time client traffic, topology data and more to react promptly to any issues that may arise.
