5.3 Naming the VAPs, Verifying Connections and
Monitoring
The VAPs are auto-discovered by the VCU and can be monitored via a remote or a local
connection (to the Master VCU). The VAPs are auto-configured by the VCU without user
intervention (no configuration procedure is required). However, if you wish, you may assign
each VAP an identifiable name corresponding to its physical location.
Note: See section
 6 for full explanation about navigating the MobileAccessVE Web GUI
application.
1. If a session in not already open to the MobileAccessVE Web management application, open
a session to the Master VCU according to section 4.4.1.
2. Select a VAP from the Network Topology Tree.
Each VAP has a default name of the form VAP Px-name where:
 Px – Number of Slave VCU port to which the VAP is connected
 Name - User-defined name
3. In the Network Topology Tree under the Control Unit, verify that a GREEN (or RED) circle is
displayed for each connected VAP.
 If a VAP is not green, select the VAP from the network topology tree. Then select the
Config tab. Refer to the Alarms tab work area. The alarms for the selected VAP are
displayed.
