WEC8500/WEC8050 (APC) Operation Manual v10.1 3©Samsung Electronics AmericaNetwork ConfigurationThe network configuration of Samsung W-EP solution that includes APC is shown below.Figure 2. W-EP Network ConfigurationIP-PBXAs an enterprise call manager, it is a switch required to provide the Fixed MobileConvergence (FMC) function to a wireless terminal (optional).APC (WEC8500/WEC8050)The APC manages all the W-EP wireless LAN APs installed in an enterprisecommunication environment and it also manages user information and traffics.Because the W-EP wireless LAN network configuration uses a centralized structurewhere all the wireless user traffics are in tunnelling through the APC, the APC is one ofthe most important elements related to traffic management and throughput in the W-EPenvironment.An APC is typically installed at a position where it can be connected to a backbone switch,core switch or router in a network. It controls the W-EP wireless LAN AP and provideshandover, QoS, and security/authentication functions.WEMIn the W-EP wireless LAN environment, various services are provided through a complexnetwork configuration. As many users are involved, its management is complex anddifficult. A normal network administrator can hardly handle any problematic issue as wellas a normal management task. The WEM is a Network Management System (NMS) thatefficiently manages this kind of W-EP wireless LAN network and service environment.It manages a WLAN network, retrieves and configures the status of APC or W-EP wirelessLAN AP.W-EPAPIP-PBXWEC8050/WEC8500WEMRouterInternet……Ethernet SwitchFMC clientWIPS
