RoamAbout AP Manager
The RoamAbout AP Manager is a configuration tool for new APs and a management tool
to assist the ongoing management and support of RoamAbout wireless networks. The AP
Manager can manage multiple APs simultaneously.
The AP Manager has the following features:
•Ability to manage multiple APs remotely, including changing parameters on multiple
APs in a wireless network with a single command.
•Ability to group APs. For example, you can group together all the APs in one wireless
network and have a second group for APs in another wireless network.
•Ability to view AP parameters such as statistics, firmware version number, MAC
addresses, amount of memory, and card type.
•Integrity checking for many wireless parameter changes. This warns you if a common
wireless network management mistake is about to be made, or if the operation
requested is unusual and usually not recommended.
•Integrity checking of an existing wireless network configuration for consistent settings
and common management errors.
•Improved wireless network performance through packet filtering and recommended
filter settings.
•Integrated with a BootP/TFTP application for simple AP firmware upgrades, also
called flash upgrades.
•Support for 802.11 radio technology.
•Ability to manage current and previous releases of the AP firmware. The AP Manager
only allows access to those features supported by the selected AP.
