System
This link displays the System window. The System window consists of the following tabs:
Use the Show/Hide Advanced option at the bottom of the System window to view or hide the advanced
options.
l General— Allows you to configure, view or edit the Name, IP address, NTP Server, and other W-IAP settings
for the Virtual Controller. For more information on the basic and additional configuration settings that can
be performed on this tab, see Basic Configuration Tasks on page 77 and Additional Configuration Tasks on
page 80.
l Admin—Allows you to configure administrator credentials for access to the Virtual Controller Management
User Interface. You can also configure W-AirWave in this tab. For more information on management
interface and W-AirWave configuration, see Managing W-IAP Users on page 152 and Managing a W-IAP from
W-AirWave on page 296 respectively.
l Uplink—Allows you to view or configure uplink settings. See Uplink Configuration on page 306 for more
information.
l L3 Mobility—Allows you to view or configure the Layer-3 mobility settings. See Configuring L3-Mobility on
page 330 for more information.
l Enterprise Domains—Allows you to view or configure the DNS domain names that are valid in the
enterprise network. See Configuring Enterprise Domains on page 201 for more information.
l Monitoring—Allows you to view or configure the following details:
n Syslog—Allows you to view or configure Syslog Server details for sending syslog messages to the
external servers. See Configuring a Syslog Server on page 355 for more information.
n TFTP Dump—Allows you to view or configure a TFTP dump server for core dump files. See Configuring
TFTP Dump Server on page 356 for more information.
n SNMP—Allows you to view or configure SNMP agent settings. See Configuring SNMP on page 351 for
more information.
l WISPr—Allows you to view or configure the WISPr settings. See Configuring WISPr Authentication on page
182 for more information.
l Proxy—Allows you to configure HTTP proxy on a W-IAP. See Configuring HTTP Proxy on a W-IAP on page
340 for more information.
RF
The RFlink displays a window for configuring Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) and Radio features.
l ARM—Allows you to view or configure channel and power settings for all the W-IAPs in the network. For
information about ARM configuration, see ARM Overview on page 250.
l Radio—Allows you to view or configure radio settings for 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz radio profiles. For
information about Radio, see Configuring Radio Settings on page 257.
Security
The Security link displays a window with the following tabs:
l Authentication Servers— Use this tab to configure an external RADIUS server for a wireless network. For
more information, see Configuring an External Server for Authentication on page 164.
l Users for Internal Server— Use this tab to populate the system’s internal authentication server with
users. This list is used by networks for which per-user authorization is specified using the Virtual Controller’s
internal authentication server. For more information about users, see Managing W-IAP Users on page 152.
