Introducing the Trapeze Networks

Mobility System

This guide shows you how to install a Trapeze Networks™ Mobility Point™ (MP™) access point

in a Trapeze Networks Mobility System™ wireless LAN (WLAN).

Read this guide if you are a network administrator or other person installing MP access points in a

network.

Trapeze Networks Mobility System

The Trapeze Networks Mobility System is a system for planning, deploying, and managing a

secure wireless LAN (WLAN) in an existing wired corporate network, or as an original greenfield

network.

The Trapeze system provides connectivity to wireless users in large environments such as office

buildings, hospitals, and university campuses, with minimal changes to existing wired networks.

Key features of the system are its structured planning tools, ability to grow, authentication based

on user identity, redundancy, and secure mobility.

The Trapeze Networks Mobility System consists of the following hardware and software:

zOne or more Mobility Exchange™ (MX™) switches—distribution points (DPs) for

configuring and managing the WLAN, connecting and powering MP access points, and

connecting the WLAN to the wired network backbone

zMultiple Mobility Point (MP) access points—wireless access points (APs) that transmit and

receive radio frequency (RF) signals to and from wireless users and connect them to an MX

switch

zMobility System Software™ (MSS)—the operating system that runs all MX switches and

MP access points in a WLAN, and is accessible through a command-line interface (CLI) or the

RingMaster™ graphical user interface (GUI)

zRingMaster tool suite—an extensive GUI application for planning, configuring, managing,

and troubleshooting a WLAN and its users
