INTRODUCTION
The GE MDS entraNET AP embedded Management System (MS) is
accessible through various data interfaces. These include the
COM1
(
serial) port,
LAN (
Ethernet) port, and SNMP. Essentially the same
capabilities are available through any of these paths.
For SNMP management, the transceiver is compatible with GE MDS
NETview MS™ software. Refer to GE MDS publication 05-2973A01
for more information on this product. For support of other SNMP
software, a set of MIB files is available for download from the GE MDS
Web site at
www.gemds.com
.
The entraNET MS has the following functions:
•

Each of these sections has a focus that is reflected in its heading. The
section you are now reading provides you with information on
connecting to the AP, how to navigate through its menus, and how to
perform some top-level configuration tasks.
3.1.1 PC-Based Configuration Software
The
GE MDS Remote Access Manager Application
(Part Number
06-4490A01) makes it possible to authenticate all Access Points and
associated Remotes from a PC, without having to update individual
radios. The software maintains a Master Approved Remotes List, and all
participating access points are synchronized with this list. Contact GE
MDS for more information.
NOTE:
If a PC is connected to a Remote radio while the Remote is
asleep, the PC does not enable its Ethernet adapter, as it
believes the port is disconnected. Also, if a PC is connected to
a Remote and the radio goes to sleep, the PC goes into a “port
disconnected” state. The PC must be properly configured to
avoid these scenarios.
