AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide
1-16
1.2.11 Updatable Firmware
Motorola periodically releases updated versions of device firmware to the Motorola Web site. If the
firmware version displayed on the System Settings page (see
Configuring System Settings on page
4-2
) is older than the version on the Web site, Motorola recommends updating the access point to
the latest firmware version for full feature functionality. An AP-5181 model access point does not
support firmware earlier than 1.1.1.0.
For detailed information on updating the firmware using FTP or TFTP, see
Updating Device Firmware
on page 4-54
.
1.2.12 Programmable SNMP v1/v2/v3 Trap Support
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
facilitates the exchange of management information
between network devices. SNMP uses
Management Information Bases (MIBs)
to manage the device
configuration and monitor Internet devices in remote locations. MIB information accessed via SNMP
is defined by a set of managed objects called
Object Identifiers (OIDs)
. An object identifier (OID) is
used to uniquely identify each object variable of a MIB.
SNMP allows a network administrator to configure the access point, manage network performance,
find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth. The access point supports SNMP
management functions for gathering information from its network components. The access point’s
download site contains the following 2 MIB files:
•
Symbol-CC-WS2000-MIB-2.0 (standard MIB file)
•
Symbol-AP-5131-MIB (both the AP-5131 and AP-5181 use the same MIB, there is no specific
MIB for an AP-5181)
The access point’s SNMP agent functions as a command responder and is a multilingual agent
responding to SNMPv1, v2c and v3 managers (command generators). The factory default
configuration maintains SNMPv1/2c support of community names, thus providing backward
compatibility.
For detailed information on configuring SNMP traps, see
Configuring SNMP Settings on page 4-27
.
1.2.13 Power-over-Ethernet Support
When users purchase a Motorola WLAN solution, they often need to place access points in obscure
locations. In the past, a dedicated power source was required for each access point in addition to the
Ethernet infrastructure. This often required an electrical contractor to install power drops at each
access point location.
