Chapter 2 About Instant This chapter provides the following information: l Instant Overview on page 11 l What is New in this Release on page 14 Instant Overview Instant virtualizes Dell Networking W-Series Mobility Controller capabilities on 802.1--capable access points (APs), creating a feature-rich enterprise-grade wireless LAN (WLAN) that combines affordability and configuration simplicity. Instant is a simple, easy to deploy turnkey WLAN solution consisting of one or more W-IAPs. An Ethernet port with routable connectivity to the Internet or a self-enclosed network is used for deploying an Instant Wireless Network. A Dell Networking W-Series Instant Access Point (W-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 requiring any onsite IT administrator. Instant consists of a W-IAP and a Virtual Controller (VC). The VC resides within one of the W-IAPs. In a Instant deployment scenario, only the first W-IAP needs to be configured. After the first W-IAP is configured, the other W-IAPs inherit all the required configuration information from the VC. Instant continually monitors the network to determine the W-IAP that should function as a VC at any time, and the VC will move from one W-IAP to another as necessary without impacting network performance.
