3.0 USING BCADMIN

™

BCAdmin is Rajant’s software package used for monitoring the status of a BreadCrumb Wireless Network

(BCWN), configuring the BreadCrumbs and to graphically portray the network topology. BCAdmin typically

runs on a laptop PC, but it can be run on any PC that has access to the entire BCWN. Versions are available for

Microsoft Windows

and Linux.

Note: Some portions of the BCAdmin User Guide assume a working knowledge of TCP/IP networking,

including DHCP, NAT, and DNS. While the network lay person may be able to perform some

BCWN management tasks, it is recommended that network conﬁguration be performed by

experienced network administrators.

Note: BCAdmin version 9.93 or higher is required to administer all firmware features, which are

covered Rajant’s BCAdmin User Guide.

Rajant periodically releases updated BCAdmin software. The updated BCAdmin software must be

obtained from Rajant. Refer to Rajant’s most recent BCAdmin User Guide for instructions on how to

install the latest version of BCAdmin on your computer and how to use BCAdmin with Rajant’s

BreadCrumbs.
