BlueView™
Management System
Centralized configuration,monitoring, policy enforcement and maintenance
for your WLAN infrastructure.
Configuring, monitoring, and managing multiple WLANs has often
required the time-consuming laborious task of touching multiple devices
deployed in multiple locations. Bluesocket’s BlueView™ Management System
simplifies WLAN management by providing true centralized configuration and
maintenance, policy-management, and monitoring capabilities for the BlueSecure™
Controllers and Access Points securing your WLANs.
Auto-Discover Your WLANs
BlueView automatically discovers BlueSecure Controllers across a configurable
range of IP addresses or networks. Optionally, administrators can configure
BlueView to discover and manage specific Controllers by entering individual
devices. Once discovered, BlueView places BlueSecure Controllers and the Access
Points associated with those Controllers into groups which can be based on
organizational structure, location, or departmental management administration.
Schedule and Automate Maintenance
Tasks
Do you want to upgrade your network from a single location? BlueView’s powerful
scheduling tool enables you to automate BlueSecure Controller and Access Point
maintenance and provisioning tasks such as backing up and restoring
configurations, pushing out policy or configuration changes, upgrading system
software, and installing software patches.
As the demand for wireless connectivity in your organization grows, you can
quickly roll out new WLAN deployments by using BlueView to provision,
configure, and manage newly deployed BlueSecure Access Points and Controllers
from a remote central location.
Powerful Reporting
BlueView’s powerful reporting functionality allows administrators to create
detailed inventory, user, login and users over time reports for individual BSCs
or groups of BSCs. Reports are available in HTML, PDF and Excel formats and can
be scheduled for automatic email delivery to multiple recipients.
Enforce Centralized Policy Rollouts
BlueSecure Controllers (BSCs) use role-based access control to define which
network resources and destinations a user may access, the bandwidth available
for the user/role, and whether the user’s traffic is required to be encrypted
(e.g., using IPSec, L2TP or PPTP). Using BlueView’s powerful configuration
template editor, you can define roles that enforce network usage policies and
then push these configurations out to either individual BSCs or groups of BSCs
on your network to ensure uniform policy enforcement across your entire
enterprise.
RF Intrusion Prevention
When combined with BlueSecure Centralized Intrusion Protection System or
BlueSecure Access Points, BlueView can also provide RF Intrusion Prevention.
BlueView’s RF IPS functionality includes the ability to detect and block rogue
access points, ad-hoc users, and alert administrators to RF hacker attacks.
BlueView’s integrated GUI provides a complete view of the health and security
of the RF environment.
Location & Coverage Maps
BlueView allows adminstrators to create location and coverage maps by importing
floor plans and locating Access Points and Sensors on the map. Via BlueView’s
secure web interface, administrators can graphically visualize WLAN coverage on
the actual floor plan and see power, channel, RSSI and AP user loads in
real-time. When coupled with BlueSecure APs or Centralized Sensors, BlueView’s
patent-pending location technology provides complete location information to
indicate where users, rogue APs or WLAN attackers are, thereby enabling you to quickly
find and resolve security issues.
