How t o Use this Guide
This user’s guide gives complete instructions for installation and use of the 11-Mbps
Wireless Outdoor Bridge.
Wireless Outdoor Bridge is supplied with factory set default network settings. Use
the WLAN Management System tool to change the default settings before
introducing a new bridge to an already-established wireless network.
The WLAN Management System is a simple-to-use, yet extremely powerful,
SNMP-based utility for online central configuration and network management from
a remote station on the same subnet. A trap management program is also provided to
monitor/diagnose the Outdoor Bridge.
