Aruba Networks has released an updated version of its wireless management software, with changes that let retailers and others monitor compliance with the latest payment-card security standards.

The company's AirWave Wireless Management Suite 6.2 now can track compliance with version 1.2 of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).The suite can create an array of reports documenting where the wireless network is in sync with the standard, and where it's not.

The software update also includes placement suggestions for radio sensors; support for Cisco LWAPP 5.1/5.2 features; monitoring of Cisco 871w routers and remote Aruba access points; and the ability to accept a management trap by a Cisco WLAN controller as soon as it happens rather than waiting for a periodic polling of that controller.
