Setting Up Your LAN Administrator Station

Alvarion
! The Base Stations will be installed on remote locations, that are accessible
via TCP/IP networking.
Figure 3-6: Wired Access via a Network Connection
Looking at Figure 3-6, the LAN administrator station has access to both Base
Stations A and B via the wired backbone.
! When these Base Stations are still using the “out-of-the-box” configuration,
the Base Stations can be identified by means of their ethernet MAC
Address, provided that the Base Stations are on the same subnet as your
LAN administrator station (i.e. there are no routers between your LAN
administrator station and the Base Station).
! When you have assigned a unique IP address value to each Base Station, you
should be able to access each Base Station from anywhere within the
network by using its unique IP address.
When installing new Base Stations “out-of-the-box”, you are advised to
configure the Base Stations one-by-one using the “desktop workplace” scenario
as pictured in Figure 3-5. This will allow you to assign a unique IP address value
to each unit prior to connecting the units to the network infrastructure.
Wireless LAN Administrator Station
A wireless, mobile LAN administrator station allows you to use the AP Manager
in combination with the Client Manager tool.
