Feature Description
Provisioning 802.11n APs for Sin-
gle-Chain Transmission
AP radios in single-chain mode will transmit and receive data using only legacy rates
and single-stream HT rates up to MCS 7. This setting is disabled by default.
Intelligent ARM Scanning at
dynamic time intervals
If the AP does not have any associated clients (or if most of its clients are inactive)
the ARM feature can dynamically readjust its default scan interval, allowing the AP
obtain better information about its RF neighborhood by scanning non-home channels
more frequently. Starting with ArubaOS 6.2, if an AP attempts to scan a non-home
channel but is unsuccessful, the AP will make additional attempts to rescan that
channel before skipping it and continuing on to other channels.
Spectrum enhancements:
l Spectrum Analysis for 5Ghz
band as a single slice
l RFPlayback utility
l Increased device support
l Spectrum monitor radios can now monitor the entire 5 Ghz radio band at once,
allowing you to view spectrum data for the upper, middle, or lower portions of
the 5 Ghz band using a single radio. In previous releases, a spectrum monitor
radio could monitor just one portion of the 5Ghz radio band at any time.
l You can view recordings using the RFPlayback tool available for download from
the Dell web site. This tool can play spectrum recordings created in this and
earlier versions of ArubaOS. Dell uses the Adobe AIR application to display
spectrum recording information.
l In ArubaOS 6.2, radios on W-AP104 and W-AP93H devices can be configured as
spectrum monitors, and W-AP105 radios can be configured as either a spectrum
monitor or a hybrid AP.
Policy Enforcement Firewall
(PEF) Visibility
The Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF) Visibility is a new PEF feature on the ArubaOS
controller. It enables network administrators to monitor the applications running and
the users using them in a given network.
The Dashboard page of the WebUI now has a new Firewall page. This page displays
the PEF summary of all the sessions in the controller aggregated by users, devices,
destinations, applications, WLANs, and roles.
Instant AP VPN Support
Dell PowerConnect W-Series ArubaOS 6.2 provides an ability to terminate VPN and
GRE tunnels from Instant AP and provide corporate connectivity to the branch Instant
AP network.
Timestamps in CLI Output
The timestamp feature can include a timestamp in the output of each show command
issued in the command-line interface, indicating the date and time the command was
issued.
RAP 3G/4G Backhaul Link
Quality Monitoring
The RAP is enhanced to support link monitoring on 2G, 3G, and 4G modems to provide
information about the state of USB modem and cellular network.
IAP to RAP Mode Conversion
An Instant AP can now be provisioned as a Campus AP (CAP) or a Remote AP (RAP)
in a controller-based network.
Captive Portal Enhancements
This release of ArubaOS introduces enhancements to the captive portal feature.
WMM-DSCP Mapping Enhance-
ments
The WMM-DSCP mapping functionality has been enhanced to retain the original
DSCP value.
LCD Screen and USB Port
The new W-7200 Series Controller includes an LCD Screen for basic configuration.
Additionally, the W-7200 Series is equipped with a USBdrive that can be used for
loading a configuration and upgrading the controller's software.
