Chapter 4:
Avalanche Console
You interact with your wireless network primarily using the Avalanche
Console. The Avalanche Console allows you to control global characteristics
of your wireless network. These characteristics include creating profiles,
assigning IP addresses, and monitoring network performance.
The Avalanche Console is traditionally accessed from a computer where the
Console has been installed. This installed Console is the Java Console.
However, using an internet connection, you also can access a version of the
Console from a computer where the Console has not been installed. This is
called the Web Console.
The Web Console allows you to create and view reports and floorplans, view
inventory, and manage profiles and alerts for your enterprise.
This section contains the following topics for the Java Console:
• Launching the Avalanche Console
• Understanding the Avalanche Console
• Changing Console Preferences
• Managing the Enterprise Server
• Viewing the Inforail Status
• Using the Support Generator
• Using the Enabler Installation Tool
