AOS-W Instant Overview
AOS-W Instant virtualizes Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess WLAN Switch capabilities on 802.11n access points (APs),
creating a feature-rich enterprise-grade wireless LAN (WLAN) that combines affordability and configuration
simplicity.
AOS-W Instant is a simple, easy to deploy turn-key WLAN solution consisting of one or more APs. An Ethernet port
with routable connectivity to the Internet or a self-enclosed network is used for deploying an Instant Wireless
Network. An Instant Access Point (OAW-IAP) can be installed at a single site or deployed across multiple
geographically-dispersed locations. Designed specifically for easy deployment, and proactive management of
networks, Instant is ideal for small customers or remote locations without any on-site IT administrator.
AOS-W Instant consists of anOAW-IAP and a Virtual Controller. The Virtual Controller resides within one of the
APs. In n AOS-W Instant deployment scenario, only the first IAP needs to be configured. After the first OAW-IAP is
configured, the other OAW-IAPs inherit all the required configuration information from the Virtual Controller. Instant
continually monitors the network to determine the OAW-IAP that should function as the Virtual Controller at any
time, and the Virtual Controller will move from one OAW-IAP to another as necessary without impacting network
performance.
