Abstract: Some companies specialize in the research and development, production, and sale of wireless broadband access products. The application of these products is mainly for the hot spot coverage projects of operators. The establishment of a unified WLAN hot equipment monitoring network can effectively manage so many wireless access points with the help of professional network management system, so as to ensure the dynamic monitoring and the stable operation of the equipments. According to the functional requirements of a specific WLAN device management system, this paper designed a management system which is suitable for centralized network architecture of WLAN on the basis of OpenNMS, completed and implemented the functions such as data collection, report management, device discovery, MIB file analysis, topology management, scheduling management, alarm management, performance management, user management of the wireless devices. This system basically reached the requirements in the WLAN equipment management through the test.

Key words: network management system, WLAN equipment, OpenNMS
