It starts up with a hierarchical representation of the wireless infrastructure. You can select a device from this display, view its properties, and open the device for configuration and management through its configuration management system. s 3Com Network Supervisor (3NS) - 3Com Network Supervisor graphically discovers, maps, and displays network links and IP devices, including 3Com wireless access points.

When your network changes, you can prompt 3Com Network Supervisor to regenerate the appropriate part of the map to ensure that you have current information. Automated operations, intelligent defaults, and the ability to detect Network misconfigurations and offer optimization suggestions make this application ideal for network managers at all levels of experience. Together with the optional 3Com Network Supervisor Advanced Package, 3Com Network Supervisor Version 3.5 helps businesses manage larger networks and easily upgrade agent software in 3Com devices. For detailed information on features and installation, refer to the Network Supervisor user guide which is installed with the Network Supervisor software. s 3Com 11 Mbps Wireless LAN Access Point 8000 Configuration Management System-The Configuration Management System is a set of Web pages stored on the access point that lets you view and modify the access point configuration settings through the Web browser on your workstation.
