WiNG 4.4 Switch System Reference Guide
1.1 Hardware Overview
The RFS4000, RFS6000 and RFS7000 are rack-mountable devices that manage all inbound and outbound traffic on the
wireless network. They provide security, network service and system management applications.
Unlike traditional wireless infrastructure devices that reside at the edge of a network, the switch uses centralized, policy-
based management to apply sets of rules or actions to all devices on the wireless network. The switch collects
management "intelligence" from individual Access Ports/Points and moves the collected information to the centralized
switch.
Access ports (APs) are 48V Power-over-Ethernet devices connected to the switch by an Ethernet cable. An Access Port
receives 802.11x data from MUs and forwards the data to the switch which applies the appropriate policies and routes
the packets to their destinations.
Access ports do not have software or firmware upon initial receipt from the factory. When the Access Port is first powered
on and cleared for the network, the switch initializes the Access Port and installs a small firmware file automatically.
Therefore, installation and firmware upgrades are automatic and transparent.
