Installing the Management Software
The Windows -based YDI AP Manager software can be
installed on a PC or workstation running Windows
98/ME, 2000, NT, or XP. This software has a GUI
(Graphical User Interface), which makes it easy to use.
The program allows you to locally or remotely perform
the following procedures:
•
Display a list of units running on the local network
•
Display and edit the current configuration of the
units
•
Save and load configurations
IMPORTANT:
Your Marquee Bridge units must be
on the same subnet as the computer with the YDI AP
Manager installed, or have a routable IP address, in
order to access it. If not, you will get a status of Offline
for the unit (see the Status column in Figure 11) even if
the LEDs show activity. To configure the units, change
the IP address of your computer to a 10.1.1.x sub-net.
Once you have access to the unit, you can then assign
a new IP address to it by clicking on the Setup tab and
IP Host button.
Note that the YDI AP Manager program is also used to
manage AP-Plus units. Therefore you will see many
grayed out options, features and settings. These only
become available when you are connected to an AP-
Plus, Orinoco AP, or router that has all these features
available.
To install the YDI AP Manager in Windows, insert the
YDI CD-ROM included in the AP-Plus kit into the
appropriate drive of your computer. Using your
Windows Explorer, open the directory
\Management
Software\YDI AP Manager
and run the Set Up program
ydi_ap.exe
. Simply follow the instructions on the screen
which will guide you through the entire process. After
completing the YDI AP Manager installation, you are
ready to configure your system.
NOTE:
For detailed information about the YDI AP
Manager, please refer to the online help,
available by pressing F1 or clicking Help->
Index from the main screen.
