Using the WLAN Management System

Once the Outdoor AP is connected to an Ethernet network, a network administrator can connect to it from any PC on the same network via the WLAN Management System (WMS) utility.

The WMS utility is a Windows-based SNMP management tool allowing network administrators to remotely configure and monitor the Outdoor AP through both an Ethernet and a wireless connection. To launch the WMS utility:

step 1. Click Start > Programs > WLAN > Management System > WLAN Management System. The main WMS window will open. Click Start/Start Hosts View.

Auto-Discovery

This discovery protocol can discover all compatible wireless operating devices connected to the Ethernet LAN within the same subnet.

step 1. Click the Auto Discovery icon (a pair of binoculars) on the left side of the Hosts View window. All working compatible devices will automatically be discovered.

step 2. Select one of the wireless devices on the list. The utility buttons on the left toolbar will be enabled.

step 3. Right-clicking on a particular device will open a popup menu offering the same functions as the toolbar (Figure 10).
