 Firmware Tools
 Firmware upgrade. The firmware of the AP can be upgraded in the following methods:
 Xmodem-based. Upgrading firmware over RS232.
 TFTP-based. Upgrading firmware by TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol).
 HTTP-based. Upgrading firmware by HTTP (HeperText Transfer Protocol).
 Configuration backup. The configuration settings of the AP can be backed up to a file
via TFTP
or HTTP for later restoring.
 Configuration reset.
Resetting the configuration settings to factory-default values.
 Management
 Windows-based Wireless Network Manager for configuring, monitoring, and diag-
nosing the local computer and neighboring APs. The management protocol is MAC-based.
 Web-based Network Manager
for configuring and monitoring the AP via a Web
browser. The management protocol is HTTP (HeperText Transfer Protocol)-based.
 SNMP.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) MIB I, MIB II, IEEE 802.1d,
IEEE 802.1x, and Private Enterprise MIB are supported.
 UPnP.
The AP responds to UPnP discovery messages so that a Windows XP user can lo-
cate the AP in My Network Places and use a Web browser to configure it.
 Telnet. The user is enabled to manage the AP by Telnet.
 System log.
For system operational status monitoring.
 Local log. System events are logged to the on-board RAM of the AP and can be
viewed using a Web browser.
 Remote log by SNMP trap. Systems events are sent in the form of SNMP traps to
a remote SNMP management server.
 Power over Ethernet (optional).
Supplying power to an AP over an Ethernet cable using
PowerDsine (http://www.powerdsine.com
) technology (IEEE 802.3af compliant in the future).
This feature facilitates large-scale wireless LAN deployment.
 Hardware Watchdog Timer. If the firmware gets stuck in an invalid state, the hardware
watchdog timer will detect this situation and restart the AP. This way, the AP can provide con-
tinuous services.
