Summary
The device-mgmt-agent-ap package contains the Device Management Agent plugins for the reference device implementation of the Devicescape Wireless Infrastructure Platform.
A Device Management Agent plugin typically translates between the object-oriented data model used by the Device Management Agent for configuration data and the configuration data as it is used and stored by a subsystem (such as ssh, NTP, and so on.)
When the Device Management Agent is started up (as occurs automatically at every powerup), the Device Management Agent loads the plugins, which, in turn, initialize the majority of the device's subsystems. The order the plugins are called in is also specified in the by the plugins.
Start/Stop Options
Device Management Agent are placed in /usr/lib/dman/plugins, and loaded and initialized by the Device Management Agent when it is started.
