Getting Started with the Mobile Computer
The functions supported within the Operations menu allow the administration of firmware,
configuration files and certificates for managed devices.
A certificate links identity information with a public key enclosed in the certificate. Device
certificates can be imported and exported to a secure remote location for archive and retrieval as
they are required for application to other managed devices.
Self Monitoring At Run Time RF Management (Smart RF) is a Brocade innovation designed to
simplify RF configurations for new deployments, while (over time) providing on-going deployment
optimization and radio performance improvements. The Smart RF functionality scans the RF
network to determine the best channel and transmit power for each managed access point radio.

Brocade periodically releases updated device firmware and configuration files to the Brocade
Support Web site. If an access point’s (or its associated device’s) firmware is older than the version
on the Web site, Brocade recommends updating to the latest firmware version for full functionality
and utilization. Additionally, selected devices can either have a primary or secondary firmware
image applied or fallback to a selected firmware image if an error were to occur in the update
process.
