Viewing the Controller Interface

The controller Configuration tab provides high-level system, controller name and address information
accessible from one location. Use this information to assess whether the current firmware version is the
most recent and if the number of licenses available is correct to support the number of radio devices
deployed. The values displayed within the screen can be defined in numerous additional locations
throughout the controller applet.
NOTE
The Extreme Networks Wireless LAN Controller Wireless Management Suite (WMS) is a recommended utility to plan
the deployment of the controller and view its interface statistics once operational in the field. Extreme Networks
WMS can help optimize the positioning and configuration of a controller (and its associated radios) in respect to a
WLAN's MU throughput requirements and can help detect rogue devices. For more information, refer to the Extreme
Networks Web site.
The controller screen displays two tabs supporting the following configuration activities:
Setting the Controller Country Code
●
Viewing the Controller Configuration
●
Controller Dashboard Details
●
Viewing Controller Statistics
●
NOTE
When the controller's configuration is successfully updated (using the Web UI), the affected screen is closed without
informing the user their change was successful. However, if an error were to occur, the error displays within the
affected screen's Status field and the screen remains displayed. With file transfer operations, the transfer screen
remains open during the transfer and remains open upon completion (with status displayed within the Status field).
