WOP-12ac. Quick guide The list of events is given in the Events tab of the Status menu. Redirection of events to a third-party SYSLOG server can be configured here as well.
If the devices with these parameters are not found, WOP-12ac becomes a master of the cluster. If the devices belonging to the cluster are found, WOP-12ac starts copying the configuration of a master. Thus, the first device with enabled Cluster mode occurred on the network becomes a master of its cluster. Other devices occurred on the network later and having the same cluster name start duplicating the master configuration.
• Location – specify physical location of the access point. The option is used to analyze and control the network in different monitoring tables. “Eltex” is used in the example; • Cluster Name – set cluster name. The access point will be connected only to a cluster, which name is specified in “Cluster Name”.
