Managing an Event Policy
Event Policies enable an administrator to create specific notification mechanisms using one, some
or all of the SNMP, syslog, controller forwarding or E-mail notification options available to the
controller. Each listed event can have customized notification settings defined and saved as part of
an event policy. Thus, policies can be configured and administrated in respect to specific sets of
client association, authentication/encryption and performance events. Once policies are defined,
they can be mapped to device profiles strategically as the likelihood of an event applies to
particular devices. By default, there’s no enabled event policy and one needs to be created and
implemented.
When initially displayed, the Event Policy screen lists the access point interfaces. Existing policies
can have their event notification configurations modified as device profile requirements warrant.
To define an access point event policy:
Select Devices from the Configuration menu.
Select Event Policy.
Polling Interval for All
Sensors
Set an interval in either Seconds (1 - 100) or Minutes (1 - 2) for the time between all environmental
polling (both light and environment). The default setting is 5 seconds.
