Usage Guidelines

The WiNG HM network defines a three-tier structure, consisting of multiple wireless sites managed by a single NOC controller, The NOC and the site controllers constitute the first and second tiers of the hierarchy respectively. The site controllers in turn adopt and manage access points that form the third tier of the hierarchy. The site controllers may or may not be grouped to form clusters.

At the time of adoption, access points and adaptive access points are provided license by the adopting controller. These license packs can be installed on both the NOC and site controllers. When a AP/AAP is adopted by a controller, the controller pushes a license on to the device. At this point the various possible scenarios are:

• AP/AAP license packs installed on the NOC controller only. The NOC controller provides the site controllers with the AP licenses, ensuring that per platform limits are not exceeded.
• AP/AAP license packs installed on the NOC and site controllers. The site controller uses its installed licenses and, in case of a shortage, the site controller borrows additional licenses from the NOC. If the NoC controller is unable to allocate sufficient licenses, the site controller unadopts some of the AP/AAPs.
• AP/AAP license packs installed on one controller within a cluster. The site controller shares its installed and borrowed licenses with other cluster controllers.
