Remote Management Service

Understanding
The Remote Management Service provides effective remote management using minimum bandwidth. It is
especially useful with connections that use a narrow channel, such as the NX and LN interfaces.
The Remote Management Service allows you to use the web UI of a radio to manage a second radio
remotely. You can also peform a broadcast firmware update from one radio (typically the AP) to other
radios in the network.
Standard Web UI sessions and individual radio firmware push are prohibitively expensive on low
bandwidth channels. Remote management offers a far less bandwidth-intensive means to perform these
tasks.
As an example, consider the simple network below. A user maintains a network connection to the local
radio with IP address, 192.168.1.10. The local radio is part of a narrowband network that includes three
remote radios. The user would like to access the remote radio at IP address 192.168.1.65 to check its
current configuration. It takes some time to view the web interface of a remote radio over a narrowband
channel. Accessing the remote configuration through the Remote Management Service's web proxy client
is significantly faster.
