Other SNMP Management Tools

The Access Point supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) through
any standard Network Management Station that supports SNMP. The SNMP management
capability enables you to manage standard SNMP MIB characteristics, such as protocol
filtering and address filtering.
To manage the Access Point with a Network Management Station (NMS) you must first
use the console port or AP Manager to configure the Access Point with a valid IP address.
The following Access Point settings are only accessible from an NMS:
•
RMON parameters
•
Multicast rate limiting value (AP Manager and console port only enable or disable the
100 Kb/sec value)
•
Aging timer

RoamAbout Access Point Console Port

You can manage the Access Point by connecting a terminal or personal computer running
terminal emulation software to the console port. Signals from the console port conform to
the EIA-232D signaling standard at 9600 baud only. The port appears as a data terminal
equipment (DTE) device. You do not need to use the console port if you use the AP
Manager to manage the Access Point.
Refer to the RoamAbout Access Point installation document for the procedure to connect
a device to the Access Point console port.
