What’s Service Assurance Manager

(SAM)?

> WLAN industry’s unique application for end-2-end diagnostic tests.

> Diagnostic measurements include wireless client

• Connectivity

• Latency

• Throughput etc.

> Detect wired network mis-configurations (e.g. VLAN, RADIUS mismatches)

> Establish baseline & auto-test variety of wireless security profiles

> Run on-demand or configured periodic intervals

> Summary & detailed reports with Notifications

> No extra sensors required

> GUI integrated w/ E(z)RF-Network Manager on common SA1000
