Abstract

To support the high quality services with wireless networks, the wireless network management module is indispensable. Based on the Java facility, CORBA engine, and SNMP management protocol, a universal browser-based wireless network management system (WNMS) is designed and reported. We use the CORBA engine for communication between the manager and agent (managed system). The SNMP protocol and Java facility are utilized for the design of the management applications to take the advantage of the platform independence. In the WNMS, two new features, agent discovery and binding operation, are also implemented. From the prototype system, it is observed that with the new features and traditional management functions the WNMS can achieve a high quality in wireless-wireline network management
