The Services and Profiles menu provides options for monitoring and configuring services such as guest access, access controls, authentication servers, application recognition and control, Bonjour services, tunneling, location services and DHCP server configuration.

  • Working with Hotspots and Portals
  • Configuring Access Control
    SmartZone's Access Control features provide a wide range of options to control access and utilization of the wireless network.
  • Configuring Application Controls
    Using the Application Control screen, you can identify, control, and monitor applications that are running on wireless clients associated with managed APs, and you can also apply filtering policies to prevent users from accessing certain applications.
  • URL Filtering
    Administrators can use the URL filtering feature to block access to inappropriate websites. The Web pages available on the internet are classified into different categories, and those identified to be blocked can be configured based on available categories. Administrators can also create policies based on these categories, to allow or deny user access.
  • Understanding WiFi Calling
    Mobile service providers offer services where you can make voice calls or send and receive text messages from their mobile phones using a WiFi network, without changing the mobile number.
  • Authentication
    You can add AAA servers to the controller in order to use them to authenticate users attempting to associate with controller-managed APs.
  • Accounting
  • Classifying Rogue Policy
    You can create rogue classification policy with rules at the zone-level. This helps in automatic classification behavior when a specific-rogue detection criteria are met.
  • Bonjour
    Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a zero-configuration networking protocol for Apple devices over IP.
  • Working with Tunnels and Ports
  • DHCP/NAT
    DHCP/NAT functionality on SZ-managed APs and DPs (data planes) allows customers to reduce costs and complexity by removing the need for DHCP server/NAT router to provide IP addresses to clients. For data traffic aggregation and services delivery you can choose appropriate user profile for DHCP and NAT services on vSZ-D.
  • 3rd Party Service
    SZ supports integration for Ekahau and Aeroscout/Stanley tags and information is forwarded to the Ekahau and Aeroscout servers respectively. This enhancement provides support for Real-Time Location Service (RTLS) tags without requiring them to be associated to the network.
