Using the Access Point Management
System (Advanced Configuration and
Management)
Once the AP is connected to an Ethernet network, a network administrator can
connect to it from any PC on the same network via the Access Point Management
System (APMS) utility.
The APMS utility is a Windows-based SNMP management tool, allowing network
administrators to remotely configure and monitor APs through an Ethernet or
wireless connection. The APMS management tool is intended for performing full-
blown wireless network configuration and management. To launch the APMS
utility, click
Start/Programs/InstantWave High Rate AP/AP Management
System.
The program opens with the InstantWave Network Management System screen.
You may now configure and monitor the APs in the wireless network from the
Access Point Host Table.
The APMS Host Table is equivalent to an address book of Access Points (APs).
The first time the program starts the screen will be blank.

At least one AP must be entered in the table to allow the local wireless adapter to
connect to it. The next section explains how to add to/edit the Host Table.
Note: Right-clicking anywhere in the main window provides fast access to most of
the main-menu items
To add an AP to the Host Table, use one of the methods below:
1. Load an existing Host Table by clicking
Import Host Table
from the File
menu. You may load APs you have previously configured with the AP
COMFig tool.
