11.4.7 Configuring the HiPath Wireless Controller for
interaction with the HiPath Wireless Manager
The HiPath Wireless Manager application provides administrators with a
graphical overview of the entire HiPath wireless network, including real time
wireless event monitoring. You must configure each HiPath Wireless Controller in
order to interact with the HiPath Wireless Manager. To configure the HiPath
Wireless Controller to interact with the HiPath Wireless Manager, a shared secret
must be defined for both. For more information, see the HiPath Wireless Manager
User Guide.
To configure a shared secret for interaction with the HiPath Wireless
Manager:
1. From the main menu, click Wireless Controller Configuration. The
Wireless Controller Configuration page is displayed.
2. From the left pane, click Secure Connections. The Shared Secret for
Remote Connections page is displayed.
3. In the first box, type the controller’s IP address.
4. In the second box, type the shared secret to be used by both the HiPath
Wireless Controller and the HiPath Wireless Manager. The shared secret can
be a maximum of 16 (232 ASCII) characters. Each IP connection can have a
different secret.
