Console | The administrative user interface that lets you |
| configure and communicate with the Avalanche |
| Agent. From the console, you can configure and |
| monitor devices and build and install software |
| packages and software collections. |

The enabler is already installed on access points with software release 2.0 or later. You can install the agent and the console on the same PC. Avalanche uses a hierarchical file system organized into software packages and software collections:
Software packages are groups of files for an application that resides on the device.
Software collections are logical groups of software packages.
For more information about software packages and software collections, see the Wavelink Avalanche documentation and online help. Or, visit the Wavelink web site at www.wavelink.com.
Configuring Your Access Points to Use Avalanche
The first time an access point is assigned an IP address, either manually or from a DHCP server, it attempts to connect to the Avalanche Management Console through the Avalanche Agent. Once it finds the agent, it automatically configures the console IP address.
Note
The access points that you want Avalanche to configure and manage must be on the same subnet as the agent.
