Understanding WMS Offload Impact on Dell Infrastructure

When offloading WMS it is important to understand what functionality is migrated to AWMS and
what functionality is deprecated.
The following Tabs and sections are deprecated after offload wms
Plan Tab - where floor plans are stored and heatmaps are generated. Prior to offloading wms ensure
that you have exported floor plans from the Dell PowerConnect ArubaOS and imported into
AWMS. All functionality within the Plan Tab is incorporated with the VisaulRF module in
AWMS.
Report Tab – All reports are incorporate within AWMS.
Events Tab – the majority of functionality within this Tab is incorporate within AWMS Reports
and Alerts sections with the exception of:
Interference Detected

Rogue AP

Station Failed

Suspected Rogue AP

One important area to note is the Security Summary display disappears after offloading WMS. The
data is still being processed by the Master Controller, but the summary information is not available.
AWMS does provide ability to view some of this information in detail and summary form.
