4.1 APCenter™ Main Window

The Main Window of APCenter™ may look like this. Before going into detail it
is good to have an idea of what kind of information to expect.

You may wish to skip to Quick Start to Wireless Networking.

The tree structure on the left of the window shows a list of WLANs (Wireless
LANs) and the Access Points that are part of each WLAN. The sample image
above shows a single Access Point with hardware address 00:10:91:00:00:84
that is assigned to the WLAN named “NWN OfficeNet”. The icons indicate the
status of the WLANs and their associated Access Points.
