Chapter 6: The RF Manager Function
Introduction
This chapter addresses a function of the 3e-525A which facilitates
remote management and programming of the Radio Frequency function
for multiple 3e-525As located on a common network. This function allows
you to remotely manage the Radio Frequency Power levels. For each AP
selected, the RF Manager can remotely disable the AP's transmit power
and, in turn, the transmit power of each client that is associated with it.
The basic architecture is shown in the chart below.

CAUTION : You can not use this utility if you are using dynamic
IP address assignment on your wireless network. We recommend
that you have your LAN Administrator set a range of static IP Ad-
dresses and that you change the WAN IP Address on each gateway to one
of this range of IP Addresses as part of your setup process.
