Management Tools
Web Browser
Vista Manager
EX and AWC
Plug-in
The access points support the following management tools.
The access point has a web browser management interface for
configuring the device from your management workstations. The web
browser interface allows you to manage one unit at a time and supports
both non-secure HTTP and secure HTTPS management sessions. The
default is HTTP.
Note
The product has been tested with Microsoft Edge and Google
Chrome.
The access point is supported with Vista Manager (version 3.9.0 or later)
and the Autonomous Wave Control (AWC) plug-in. Configuring and
monitoring large numbers of devices is simplified with AWC because you
can add multiple devices to management groups and manage them as
one unit. The application can also monitor the operations of the access
points and automatically adjust operating properties to optimize the
performance of your wireless network.
You cannot configure the following access point settings with Vista
Manager EX and the AWC plug-in. These settings require the web
browser interface:
Hostname
DHCP client or static IP address
Domain Name Server name
System date or time
HTTP and HTTPS modes
System name, location, and contact
LLDP PoE negotiation
Enable or disable the Reset button
Management VLAN
