describes the fields and information displayed in the General field.
Description
Button immediately polls the individual AP or the controller for a thin AP; this overrides the group's preset
polling intervals to force an immediate update of all data except for rogue information. Shows "attempt"
status and last polling times.
Displays ability of AWMS to connect to the AP. Up (no issue) means everything is working as it should.
Down (SNMP "get" failed) means AWMS can get to the device but not speak with it using SNMP.
Check the SNMP credentials AWMS is using the view secrets link on the APs/Devices > Manage page and
verify SNMP is enabled on the AP. Many APs ship with SNMP disabled.
Down (ICMP ping failed after SNMP get failed) means AWMS is unable to connect to the AP using SNMP
and is unable to ping the AP. This usually means AWMS is blocked from connecting to the AP or the AP
needs to be rebooted or reset.
