The above example displays the DeviceList for all the sites within this one large WMS deployment.
There are ten separate sites whose controllers and access points comprise this list. If just a single site or
floor were to be selected, there may just be a few controllers or access points, as that would most likely
be sufficient to service the client needs of just that single site or floor. If a single device were to be
selected, just the attributes of that one device would display within the DeviceList.
The following displays within the DeviceList regardless of whether all sites, a single site or floor or just
an individual device is selected:
Name
Lists the names of the controller or access points detected. Each name displays in
the form of a link that can be selected to graphically display the controller or
access point’s device specific Dashboard. For more information on device specific
dashboards, see
“Device Specific Dashboards” on page 45.
Status
Assess the controller’s or access point’s current operational status based on the
following indicators:
Critical
- Red
Major
- Orange
Minor
- Yellow
Warning
- Blue
Clear
- Green
Info
- White
Model
Lists the model of each controller or access point. Different controller and access
point models have different client support capabilities, so it helps to know the
listed device’s support capabilities in respect to the number of clients it is
supporting.
IP Address
Displays the IP address each listed controller or access point is using as a network
identifier.
MAC Address
Displays the factory assigned hardware MAC address for each controller and access
point listed.
Firmware
Displays the version of controller or access point firmware currently running on the
listed device. Extreme Networks frequently releases updated versions of device
firmware to its support Web site, so knowing which firmware is on its listed
controller or access point can help determine whether a firmware update is
warranted. For more information on firmware updates, see
“Firmware” on
page 94
