MANAGEMENT TOOL
The management tool is a Web-based interface to the LPS-20x that provides easy access to all configuration
functions via WLAN, LAN, or Internet Port.
MANAGEMENT STATION
The management station is the computer that you will use to connect to the management tool. To act as a
management station, a computer must:
• have a JavaScript-enabled Web browser installed (Netscape 7.1 or higher, or Internet Explorer 6.0 or
higher)
• be able to establish an IP connection with the LPS-20x
Although there are several ways to manage the LPS-20x after installation (see Management scenarios below), the
first time you configure the LPS-20x you should do so from a computer equipped with a wireless LAN card. If it is
impossible to install a wireless LAN card in your computer, you can use a computer equipped with an Ethernet card
instead. This requires a cross-over Ethernet cable.
CONFIGURING THE MANAGEMENT STATION FOR WIRELESS ACCESS
Install and configure the wireless adapter in the management station according to the directions that came with it.
During installation make sure that:
• encryption is disabled
• TCP/IP is installed and configured. The IP address of the wireless station must be on the same subnet as
the access point.
• Set the SSID to be “ADC”.
CONFIGURING THE MANAGEMENT STATION FOR WIRED ACCESS
Install and configure a network adapter in the management station according to the directions that came with it.
During installation make sure that TCP/IP is installed and configured.
!
IMPORTANT
Only one administrator can be logged into the management tool at a given time. If a second
administrator logs in while the first is connected, the first administrator may be logged out
depending on system configuration (refer to Management|Management Tool|Login override).
A static IP address must be used when configuring the LPS-20x for the first time. Refer to Connecting to
the LPS-20x for the First Time on page 37.
