Network Management

Double-click on the system tray icon to start Network Management (or right-click and select
"Open Network Management").

Note: The Network Management Application is ONLY available when the Network is in

Multimedia mode.

The "Node Information" page in network management utility displays a
diagram of the active Multimedia network. Additional information is
also available by clicking on buttons to the left side of the page.

The Color legend on the lower left designates the quality of the
connection and is indicated by the color of the lines between any two
nodes.

The information on this page is obtained from the Master node for all
nodes on the network. If the Master node is a non-functional node, this
HTML page will not be available on the client nodes and a "trouble
shooting page" will be displayed instead.

l

Adding nodes to the network (Multimedia mode only)

- To add the AP node to the network, the designated Master node

must allow the AP to be "enrolled" into its secured network group.
This group is based on the network identification (or "Network ID")
entered during installation. If the Network ID of a node matches the
Master’s Network ID, the node will be automatically enrolled into the
group.

- To add a wireless AP to the network or add a new node which is

configured to be in an open enrollment mode, click on the "Add A
New Node" button in the Network Management page from any node
in the system. The Master node will search for nodes that have not
been added to the group. (those which are determined to be in open
enrollment mode)

- To add (or enroll) this AP into the network, click on the "Add" button.

The Master node will forward its Network ID to the AP node which
as been detected to be in open enrollment mode.

Refer to the below section on the "AP Device Manager" for instructions on how to manually
configure the AP. Manual configuration will give you more control over the AP settings
including network names, SSID and WEP settings.
