Create an Application

[Franzioz]

I would like to know in which language we can create application to comunicate with AP or Nics (C#,C++,Java?). We are trying to create a software to manage a WLAN, with real time analise of the speed and transmission quality.

Could you help?

You'll probably find most utilities and plug-ins for C++.

If you want to monitor AP quality and many station values, the best way is using c++ or perl for linux. Linux has many utilities to check power and more things. Personally I develop applications to monitor voice gateways arround the world. We used a program named "netsaint" and a Round Robin database to save all the data. The monitoring system was using SNMP (simple network managment protocol).

You have to check if your Access Point has a SNMP comunity. Cisco AP has a snmp comunity with the same name as the users that you create, of course if you give snmp rights.

I don't know if orinoco AP or other has SNMP MIB. With Cisco AP you can connect 32 client ports. So you have the capacity to monitor 32 clients with SNMP.

If you want more information about this please contact me!

ORiNOCO does support SNMP within the AP-2500, AP-2000, AS-2000, AP-1000, AP-500, AP-200, and BG-2000. Full MIB support is available in the enterprise AP products.
