碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 資訊科學與工程研究所 === 94 === There is a numerous number of wireless Access Points (APs) installed on NCTU campus. Many of them are established by individual groups for research purposes. In addition, NCTU has been under developing with further investigation to construct “free of cord offices and education environment”. In other words, the campus has been progressively moving towards wireless. As the service expands, the coverage of wireless hotspot increases due to more and more access points set up. The management of access points become difficult. One access point in between so many access points may suddenly fails, and the administrator can not be aware of this situation immediately. A control system that helps administrators to monitor the access points become essential. In this thesis, we will introduce the wireless network infrastructure in NCTU campus. According the structure of wireless network in NCTU, we designed a monitoring system for NCTU campus. The system not only can indicate, verify the latest status of the devices but can notify system administrators when access point fails. We also perform some performance evaluations to demonstrate the usability of this system.
