Configuration Wizard
The Configuration Wizard is a Web-based controller user interface (UI) that lets you complete the initial
wireless configuration after you configure the IP address, local username, and password or authorization
using the authentication server. Using the Web UI, you can configure the controller, WLAN, and radios
for all initial operations, establish management parameters, set security policies, access software
management commands, configure system logs, and other tasks.
