Chapter 6. NMS
The Network Management System (NMS) supports the central management of a group of access points,
otherwise known as an AP Array. NMS can be installed on one access point and support up to 5 access points with
no additional wireless controller required, reducing costs and facilitating efficient remote AP management.
Access points can be deployed and configured according to requirements, creating a powerful network
architecture which can be easily managed and expanded in the future, with an easy to use interface and a full
range of functionality – ideal for small and mid-sized office environments. A secure WLAN can be deployed and
administered from a single point, minimizing cost and complexity.
