Chapter 7. Basic AP Management (WHG Only)

7.1. Introduction

Management of access points are always of vital importance for a network
administrator. Thus 4ipnet delivers a simple, straightforward set of management
tools to help you achieve it. Generally, we suggest a centralized network with a
controller in charge of access points both on the WAN side and the LAN side. We
call the WAN-side AP management 'Wide Area AP Management,' due to its
scalability across the Internet or intranet, and the LAN-side AP management 'Local
Area AP Management.' Below illustrates the concept of these two types of
management.

4ipnet WHG models have different manageability with 4ipnet access points, i.e.,
admin should make sure what AP models your 4ipnet WHG controller supports.
