Introduction
BreezeNET infrastructures are managed from the LAN administrator station.
Within this chapter decision points are described which are necessary to help
you set up LAN administrator station(s) to properly manage your network.
Typically, the LAN administrator station is a computer used by the LAN
administrator to configure, manage and monitor the network. You can assign as
many LAN administrator stations as you like, depending on how you would like
to manage your network.
The LAN administrator station uses the tools available in the BreezeNET
software suite to configure and monitor your network. The following programs
are included within the BreezeNET software suite:
! Client Manager
! AP Manager
In this chapter, we describe how to set up the LAN administrator station in the
following network configurations:
! Peer-to-Peer workgroup - all stations within the network directly
communicate with all other stations. No Base Stations are necessary to
bridge the data.
! Infrastructure network - all stations communicate to each other and the
Ethernet backbone via Base Station interfaces.
