INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing this Icom product. The RS-AP3 access point management tool is designed and built with
Icom’s IP network technology. We hope you agree with Icom’s philosophy of “technology first.” Many hours of
research and development went into the design of your RS-AP3.
NOTE:
To start the wireless access point management, you must “Enable” the “Access Point Management Tools.”
(+p.1-4)
Set the static IP address to your PC.
If you use the RS-AP3 for the first time, read through operation instructions written in the chapter 1.

INTRODUCTION
Product information
• Wireless access points of the same model can be managed by one group.
A total of 64 groups can be programmed.
The license of the RS-AP3 is as follows.
Number of access points managed
➥ 3000 access points (maximum)/64 groups (total)
➥ 128 access points (maximum)/1 group
Number of groups
➥ 64 groups (total)
• Start the RS-AP3 to manage the access points in the groups.
Until the management is completed, changes cannot be made on an access point’s setting screen.
• Multiple access points can be managed individually or collectively.
• From the access points scanning results, power level and channels according to the system environment can
automatically be set to the access points.
• Load balance can be managed based on information received periodically from the access points, according
to the wireless LAN devices.
• Radio wave environment status can be displayed on a graph according into the data received from the access
points.
• Management is automatically enabled when an access point to be managed is detected.
• The Site Survey function and MAC Authentication (RADIUS) server are inside the RS-AP3.
• The SSID or encryption settings for access points programmed to all groups can be displayed on a list.
• If an access point with a previous firmware version is detected, it can automatically be updated.
• Access point information can periodically be sent, or messages can be sent when an unauthorized access or
a notification fault is detected.
➥ You can set it not to send messages when none of an unauthorized access or a notification fault is detected.
• Synchronizing the setting data with another PC with the RS-AP3 installed can avoid unmanageability caused
by communication fault.
➥ When using the mirroring function, 2 different RS-AP3 (USB flash drives) on the same license are necessary.
• The RS-AP3 consists of the Windows® service (shown below) that resides for managing the operating screen
and wireless access points.
Operating screen Service
For editing settings and
displaying logs.
As the Operating screen and Windows service
are different programs, information is exchanged
by using setting files.
• After editing the setting contents on the
Operating screen, the setting file needs to be
saved and applied to the Windows service
side.
ii
Managing wireless access
points, according to the
setting file contents.
• Operation starts when
Windows
®
starts
INTRODUCTION
Installation note
• When the RS-AP3 USB flash drive is inserted into the USB port, “REMOVABLE drive” and “Setup.exe” appear.
The flash drive must be inserted into the PC when saving the setting files or synchronizing with the mirroring
function.
• The RS-AP3 resides as a Windows service. Therefore, you can manage the access points, using saved setting files.
After setting the access points to manage on the operation screen, remove the flash drive.
➥ Modifications are applied to the service when the contents modified with the software are overwritten.
➥ If you load a setting file that is saved in advance, save it again with the RS-AP3.
• To synchronize the setting data between the RS-AP3 and an access point, overwrite the settings entered on
the operation screen, and then send them to the access point.
• When the access point management is completed (+p.1-21), “Access Point Management Tools” automatically return to “Disable.”
To manage the access point again, you must “Enable” the “Access Point Management Tools.”
(+p.1-4)
• When using the Wireless Bridging communication function, you must activate the function in order for the access points to communicate, before enabling the “Access Point Management Tools.”

The Load Balancing function, that is commonly shared in the selected group, can be used only when Icom’s

If you “Enable” the Load Balancing setting, this function distributes the loadings according the status of the access points or wireless LAN terminals that is included in the regularly received information.
• If “Disable” is selected, the Load Balancing function will not distribute loadings, even if the operating conditions are satisfied.
• In order to control the Load Balancing function, the RS-AP3 needs to be connected at all times.
Operating Conditions
If either the amount of connected wireless LAN terminals or the communication volume, or both reach the conditions, the half of the connected wireless LAN terminals will be cut off.
• Amount of wireless LAN terminals may differ depending on the Maximum Number of Stations settings.

Operation
The half of the connected wireless LAN terminals will be cut off in order of the weakest signal, and re-connection
will be inhibited for 60 seconds.
Example:
While the Balance Loading function is enabled and 9 wireless LAN terminals are connected to the Virtual AP
with Maximum Number of Stations set to 10, cuts off 4 connected wireless LAN terminals in order of the weakest
signal, and re-connection will be inhibited for 60 seconds.
