! You need to do a site verification to determine optimal placement of Base
Stations.
! It is also possible remote configure and monitor the Base Station via a dial-
up connection. This feature is only possible when the network is externally
accessible.
Of course you can assign multiple stations as LAN administrator stations,
allowing for a combination of wired and wireless stations and allowing you the
freedom to choose the most appropriate tool for the situation.
Wired Stations
A wired LAN administrator station allows you to configure and monitor Base
Stations through a wired backbone by using the AP Manager tool.
Configuration
A wired LAN administrator station has access to all Base Stations via a wired
backbone. The Base Stations are identified by means of their unique IP address.
When your LAN architecture is comprised of multiple subnets, separated by
gateways or routers, please note that the LAN administrator station which you
intend to use for the initial configuration, must be on the same subnet as the
Base Stations.
Once the Base Stations have been configured and their IP addresses have been
registered, you can use any station to access the Base Stations via the TCP/IP
protocol.
For more information on configuring your Base Station, please refer to
Configuration Scenarios on page 3-12.
Monitoring
When you use a wired LAN administrator station you will not be able to move
around to different physical locations of the network to determine or optimize
the placement of stations or Base Stations.
However, a wired LAN administrator station can use the AP Manager remote
link test and remote statistics features to do monitoring tasks.
With the AP Manager you can validate radio frequency links between a remote
Base Station and stations connected to that Base Station. For more information
on monitoring, refer to Monitoring Options on page 5-19.
Wireless Stations
A wireless, mobile LAN administrator station allows you to use the Client
Manager as well as the AP Manager.
