Using the AP Manager

You can use the AP Manager to:

! Display a standard set of SNMP variables to monitor general LAN traffic

performance in your network (see Remote Statistics Tab).

! Display remote link test measurements (see Remote Link Test Window)

between a (remote) Base Station of your choice and a wireless station

connected to the selected Base Station.

The AP Manager has been designed to monitor your network from a central

location (e.g. the LAN administrator station) enabling you to monitor wireless

performance in areas that can not easily be reached. For example: wireless

networks in remote locations.

Monitoring Options

The AP Manager program offers a variety of diagnostic options of which the

following two are the most relevant for standard users:

! System information (see System Information)

! Remote link test (see Remote Link Test Window)

! Remote statistics (see Remote Statistics Tab)

All other diagnostic options are standard SNMP tallies that are not described in

this manual, but documented in the on-line help system of your AP Manager

program.

Station.
