Abstract
The present invention discloses a wireless remote network management system for wirelessly interfacing a series of remote devices (e.g., computers, servers, etc.) to one or more user workstations. Each remote device is coupled to a wireless transmitter, and each user workstation includes a wireless user station coupled to a keyboard, a video monitor and a cursor control device (e.g., a mouse). Preferably, the transmitters and user stations utilize an 802.11 compatible ad-hoc network for communication. Alternatively, a central wireless access point may be utilized to centralize communications between the transmitters and user stations. The wireless network enables a user workstation to access, monitor and control a remote device. An option menu containing a list of all the remote devices allows a user to select any of the remote devices for operation.
