RoamAbout AP Manager
The RoamAbout AP Manager is a configuration tool for new APs and a management tool
to assist the ongoing management and support of RoamAbout wireless networks. The AP
Manager can manage multiple APs simultaneously.
The AP Manager has the following features:
•
Ability to manage multiple APs remotely, including changing parameters on multiple
APs in a wireless network with a single command.
•
Ability to group APs. For example, you can group together all the APs in one wireless
network and have a second group for APs in another wireless network.
•
Ability to view AP parameters such as statistics, firmware version number, MAC
addresses, amount of memory, and card type.
•
Integrity checking for many wireless parameter changes. This warns you if a common
wireless network management mistake is about to be made, or if the operation
requested is unusual and usually not recommended.
•
Integrity checking of an existing wireless network configuration for consistent settings
and common management errors.
•
Improved wireless network performance through packet filtering and recommended
filter settings.
•
Integrated with a BootP/TFTP application for simple AP firmware upgrades, also
called flash upgrades.
•
Support for 802.11 radio technology.
•
Ability to manage current and previous releases of the AP firmware. The AP Manager
only allows access to those features supported by the selected AP.
