About This Chapter

The DS.11 Configuration Utility is an SNMP-based utility that provides a
consistent view of the wireless network. The system administrator can use the
DS.11 Configuration Utility to control a large number of DS.11 units from a single
location. The Configuration Utility can be used to manage BU-DS.11 and
RB-DS.11 units as well as other members of the BreezeNET DS.11 family including
the WBS, WBC, AP-DS.11 and SA-DS.11. The description in this manual, however,
is limited to management and configuration of BU-DS.11 and RB-DS.11 units.
Refer to the DS.11 section of www.alvarion.com for more information on how to use
the utility with other products.

Using the Configuration Utility you can:
♦ Assign radio channels for optimal cell operation.
♦ Configure units with a specified IP address.
♦ Set the SNMP Read/Write Community strings.
♦ Verify the status of all units in the network.
♦ Configuration of a wide range of operational parameters, including WLAN, IP

and Security parameters.

♦ View Tx and Rx counters.
♦ Obtain general information such as the Firmware version and system name.
