Your next consideration for wired or wireless station should be the size of
your network. For instance:
• in larger networks, it may be more convenient to manage the stations
from a central location, so a wire d station would be more approp riate.
• in smaller network configurations, in which there are only few Access
Points RLMs, a mobile, wireless station may be the most efficient way
to configure and manage your network.
For wireless stations the following has to be considered:
• LAN administrators require easy access to wirel ess areas, e.g. for on-site
troubleshooting.
• You need to do a site verification to determine optimal placement of
Access Points RLMs.
• It is also possible remote configure and monitor the Access Point RLM
via a dial-up connection. This feature is only possible when the network
is externally accessible via a router.
Of course you can assign multiple stations as LAN administrator stations,
allowing for a combination of wired and wireless stations and allowing you
the freedom to choose the most appropriate tool for the situation.

A wired LAN administrator station allows you to configure and monitor
Access Points RLMs through a wired backbone by using the RLM Manager
tool.
