Unified network management

The HP JD448B WX5004 Access Controller provides unified management for up to 256 access points. It supports Layer-3 roaming and fast roaming to meet demanding voice service requirements. Quality of service enforcement uses IEEE 802.1p prioritisation.

Deployments needing centralised wireless control

Organisations requiring centralised VLAN deployment and access privilege enforcement across many APs will benefit. Sites needing only standalone AP operation or managing fewer than 64 APs without a hardware controller should look elsewhere.

Four dual-personality ports

The unit offers four combination ports for 10/100/1000Base-T and 1000Base-X connectivity. An RJ-45 serial console port provides out-of-band management access. The address table holds 8000 entries for MAC learning.

Questions about this item

How many access points can the JD448B controller manage before I need to add another unit?

The controller supports up to 64 access points in its standard configuration and can manage up to 256 APs with the unified network management system.

Which hardware resource will reach capacity first when the network grows?

The address table holds 8000 entries, so MAC address scaling will be the first hard limit under sustained expansion.

What is the power draw and heat output when the WX5004 runs continuously in a 1U rack?

The unit draws 100-240 VAC at 50 Hz and uses four dual-personality GbE ports plus a serial console port in a 1U form factor.
