3.3.2.8 Import/Export Host Table

The Host Table is a very powerful function to support a mass deployment of PLANET outdoor WLAN products. You can combine several WAP-5000s together with WAP-5100 to form a group with a specific Host Table name so that you can divide the wireless network into many small groups.

∙Create Host Table via Automatic Discovery

Click Automatic Discovery icon to find all compatible devices. Select the desired APs and other

wireless devices (for example, located in building A). Choose Export Host Table to save the

Host Table to a file (for convenience, you can save the Host table on a network disk for ease of access).

∙Import Host Table to check device’s availability

Import the Host Table from a file (for convenience, you can retrieve the Host table on a network disk for the ease of access). Once the Host Table is imported, WMS will automatically check the availability of APs and other compatible devices listed in the Host Table. This is an extremely powerful feature to make up for the inadequacy of Auto-Discovery. Auto-Discoverycan only find compatible devices when they are alive. Failed devices cannot be found via Auto-Discovery. The devices listed in the Host Table should be available and provide the service. If they do not exist, WMS can report their absence immediately so that the system administrator can take immediate

action.
