It allows administrator to deploy AP mesh quickly and easily across IP network, and configure all trusted APs based on pre-defined configuration profiles individually or simultaneously. The system supports a smart discovery of trusted APs via UPnP and CAPWAP protocols and a quick AP searching based on AP's name, MAC address or IP address from the trusted AP list. It also monitors online status of managed APs and real-time network traffic for each AP, each virtual AP and each STA client graphically. To collect all categorized traps in the control center from trusted APs and make several statistics diagrams, administrator can have an easy analysis based on these diagrams and take adequate and instant reactions to the events. Full control functions to all trusted APs include reboot, reset, FW upgrade and backup/restore settings. And further, AP Load Balance function leverages the loading of all AP members in the AP mesh to get best communication performance in the whole network. Besides, an optional function of remote AP management also can be activated via a pre-established VPN tunnel. 1.1 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS AP Controller Configuration Requirements Computer with the following:  Windows® 7 and XP with Service Pack 2 4
