ZA-5000-WS5

WIRELESS AP CONTROLLER
Enterprise-Class Wireless AP Controller Deliver unified, secure
WLAN Network to Small and Medium Business

The ZA-5000-WS5 is ZDCs centrally managed AP controller specifically designed

for small-to-medium enterprises and hotspot operators. Rather than individually
configuring and controlling a fleet of autonomous APs, ZA-5000-WS5 allows easy
and quick management of managing wireless AP discovery and provisioning,
authentication, roaming, firewall, VLAN policy and much more. It is especially
ideal for small businesses that require a robust and secure WLAN that can be
easily deployed, centrally and automatically managed with minimal IT staff.
The ZA-5000-WS5 series supports up to 64 access points and 1,024 users. In addition
to supporting up to 64 APs, the ZA-5000-WS5 can support up to 256 Access Points
APs when wireless traffic does not choose to go through the AP controller.
The ZA-5000-WS5 also provides authentication, data encryption, firewall, user-role
access policies, bandwidth control as well as wireless intrusion protection
capabilities.
Delivering performance and scalability, the ZA-5000-WS5 provides low total cost of
ownership and flexibility to scale as network requirements grow.
Ease of Deployment, zero-touch
provisioning with minimal IT assistance
The ZA-5000-WS5 can be deployed and
operated quickly and easily in a matters of
in a matters of minutes. Access points can
be automatically discovered and instantly
managed by the AP controller.
Simple and centralized Management
Quick setup and centralized management
without needing to manually configure
each AP for the network and security
settings you would want running on your
network.
Configuration changes can easily be
applied to multiple APs simultaneously.

Secure and reliable wireless connectivity

ZA-5000-WS5 supports multiple concurrent
WLAN security options including enterpriseclass
802.1x,
WPA,
WPA2,
web
authentication, together with WEP, TKIP, AES
data encryption. In addition to the inherent
security benefits offer by the security
protocols described above, the ZA-5000WS5 AP controller also include advanced
security features such as ACL, stateful
firewalls, DHCP snooping, ARP protection, as
well as rogue AP detection.
Scale access and performance effectively

Flexible data forwarding

architecture

ZA-5000-WS5 provides secure centralized

forwarding by tunneling all wireless traffic
to the controller as well as local forwarding
by sending all data traffic directly from the
APs to the wired network in order to
maximize throughput.

Easy to monitor and troubleshoot

in real time

The ZA-5000-WS5 gives IT a simple graphic

view of user and traffic information on the
WLAN. This information can be used to
monitor and troubleshoot performance in
real time as needed in enterprise and
campus environments. Moreover, the ZA5000-WS5 can display historical data daily,
weekly and monthly.
