  architecture enhances performance and provides a
  single point of administration for all RF
  devices.
• Agent PCs communicate consolidated RF Network
  information and Access Point statistics back to
  the PowerNet Vision Console utilizing minimum
  network bandwidth.

  be renamed and chosen to reveal transaction
  statistics, IP address, and MAC address
  information.
• The Network Tree View is automatically updated
  every few seconds to show RF Terminals roaming
  between Access Points.
