In order to support the network hardware in these locations, some sort of connectivity is required. For most administrator needs, simple telnet or SSH in-band will suffice. In other instances, where perhaps a fault or misconfiguration has disrupted normal connectivity to the satellite location, an out-of-band connection is required. Find out how you can utilize reverse telnet to solve this remote administration issue. http://searchnetworking.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid7_gci970760,00.html?track=NL-314&ad=485589 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= FIVE CRITICAL PLANNING STEPS FOR WIRELESS LANs | Michael Finneran Step 1: Planning for capacity, not just coverage Join us for this five-part series that identifies the major developments in wireless LANs and offers guidelines for product and technology selection.
