AP Operation

In addition to the browser based operation utilities, the CN-5000 also
provides Windows-based programs that can be used in their stead. These
include an administration utility, a Windows client, a Java client, and a Log
Server. This chapter explains how to install and operate each of them.

The Administrator Utility

The Windows-based Administrator Utility is provided on the distribution CD
included with this package. To install the Administrator Utility:

1. Open the drive and folder where the Administrator Setup icon

(CN5KAdminTool.exe) is located and double click the icon.

The Administration Utility installation screen appears:

2. Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions. When the installation

completes, a CN5000AdminTool icon appears on your desktop.
