Introducing the Trapeze Networks

Mobility System

This command reference explains Mobility System Software (MSS™) command line interface

(CLI) commands that you enter on a Mobility Exchange™ to configure and manage the Trapeze

Networks Mobility System™ wireless LAN (WLAN).

Read this reference if you are a network administrator responsible for managing Mobility

Exchange (MX) switches and Mobility Point™ (MP™) access points in a network.

Trapeze Networks Mobility System

The Trapeze Networks Mobility System is an enterprise-class WLAN solution that seamlessly

integrates with an existing wired enterprise network. The Trapeze system provides secure

connectivity to both wireless and wired users in large environments such as office buildings,

hospitals, and university campuses and in small environments such as branch offices.

The Trapeze Mobility System fulfills the three fundamental requirements of an enterprise

WLAN: It eliminates the distinction between wired and wireless networks, allows users to work

safely from anywhere (secure mobility), and provides a comprehensive suite of intuitive tools for

planning and managing the network before and after deployment, greatly easing the operational

burden on IT resources.

The Trapeze Networks Mobility System consists of the following components:

● RingMaster tool suite—A full-featured graphical user interface (GUI) application used to

plan, configure, deploy, and manage a WLAN and its users

● One or more Mobility Exchange™ (MX™) switches—Distributed, intelligent machines

for managing user connectivity, connecting and powering Mobility Point (MP) access points,

and connecting the WLAN to the wired network backbone

● Multiple Mobility Point™ (MP™) access points—Wireless access points (APs) that

transmit and receive radio frequency (RF) signals to and from wireless users and connect

them to an MX switch

● Mobility System Software™ (MSS™)—The operating system that runs all MX switches

and MP access points in a WLAN, and is accessible through a command-line interface (CLI),

the Web View interface, or the RingMaster GUI
