SonicWave 600 Series Deployment Guide
Integration with other SonicWall Software
SonicWall provides systems to help deploy, manage, and secure wireless networks:
-
Secure Mobile Access ( SMA)
Operating on SonicWall hardware or as a virtual machine on a standard server, Secure Mobile Access provides policy-enforced SSL-VPN access and role-based privileges for mobile users.
With the Mobile Connect application on mobile devices, mobile users can initiate a VPN connection with an SMA appliance and gain quick and appropriate access to the local network.
For more information, go to the SonicWall technical documentation portal at: https://www.sonicwall.com/support/technical-documentation/. In the select a product box, choose Secure Mobile Access and then 100 series or 1000 series. A list of available manuals appears.
-
WiFi Cloud Manager (WCM)
This is a cloud-based component of SonicWall’s Capture Security Center.
WCM handles only the management plane functions of the SonicWave APs, ensuring that control and data plane functions are handled locally. Therefore, in case of an Internet outage, although there is a temporary loss in management capability, the APs continue to work. WCM can manage thousands of access points and enforce security policies at a granular level.
Refer to details in Cloud-based Configuration for using WiFi Cloud Manager to deploy SonicWave access points.

- WiFi Planner
A component of WiFi Cloud Manager, this planner helps make sound WiFi coverage decisions that account for different types of office spaces, floorplans, building materials, power requirements, signal strengths, channel widths and radio bands, to obtain maximum coverage with the fewest number of APs. It is ideal for new AP deployments or to ensure excellent coverage in existing wireless networks. Auto-channel assignment prevents interference in deployments on a best effort basis.
