User’s Guide Chapter 1 – Introduction
Management Options
There are several managing and monitoring interfaces available to the operator to configure and
manage the P-520r on your network:
 Web-browser Interface
 SNMP Management (SNMP v1, v2c)
 Gemtek Management System (GMS)
This user manual provides detailed description of Web and SNMP management option.
Web Interface
The Web-browser interface (also known as the HTTP interface) provides easy access to configuration
settings and network statistics from any computer in the network. Use the Web browser interface
through your LAN (switch, hub, etc.), over the Internet, or with a “crossover” Ethernet cable connected
directly to your computer’s Ethernet Port.
SNMP Management
In addition to the Web interface, you can also manage and configure a P-520r using the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP enables network administrators to manage network
performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth.
In order to manage the device you have to provide your Network Management
System software with adequate MIB files. Please consult your management
software manuals on how to do that.
Gemtek Management System
Gemtek Management System (GMS) is a centralized monitoring and management solution for
wireless network equipment based on the GEOS operating system. At the heart of GMS is a powerful
and efficient engine that securely gathers, interprets and records information from registered network
devices, and makes that information available to network administrators through a convenient,
secure, and attractive Web interface.
However, as the name implies, the most important feature of GMS is configuration management.
GMS can retrieve and/or store configuration files from/to GEOS based devices (that are online and
connected to the server) at any time, turning management of large groups of devices from an
administrative nightmare into a single click operation. Remote firmware update is part of the core
functionality as well, so forget having to individually update firmware on tens or hundreds of network
devices - just upload the new firmware image to the GMS server and schedule a group firmware
update!
