The Enterasys Networks Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager 
(Widman) helps you locate Enterasys Networks wireless LAN devices on 
the network, select a device and view its properties, and launch the 
Configuration Management System in your Web browser. 

The Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager must be installed on a 
computer that:

■

Has a working Ethernet adapter.

■

Is running Internet Explorer and one of the Windows operating 
systems listed in “Using the Enterasys Networks Installation CD” on 
page 23.

■

Is on the same subnet as the Ethernet Adapter.

See “Using the Enterasys Networks Installation CD” on page 23 for 
installation instructions.

The device to be configured using the Wireless Infrastructure Device 
Manager must be:

■

Connected to power.

■

Wired to the network, associating with the wireless network, or, in 
some cases with the Ethernet Adapter, connected directly to the 
computer.

If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, it can take up to one 
minute for a device to become discovered after it has been powered up.

To use the Enterasys Networks Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager:

1 Launch the device manager by selecting Start > Programs > Wireless 

Infrastructure Device Manager.

If you have more than one network adapter installed on your computer, 
you may be prompted to choose a network adapter. Choose the 
appropriate adapter and click OK.

The Wireless Network Tree appears in the Enterasys Networks Wireless 
Infrastructure Device Manager window, as shown in Figure 12.
