Configuring the Access Point for the Optional AT-UWC Program

The AT-UWC Unified Wireless Controller is an optional management
program for the AT-TQ Access Points. You may use the program to
centralize the task of managing the access points in your network.

To use the program, you install it on a network server and then configure
the controller client on the access point by entering the IP address of the
server. You cannot manage an access point with the program until you
have entered the IP address of the network server in the controller client.

There are two ways to configure the controller agent:

You can use the “Configure Managed Access Port Parameters”
window to enter the IP address of the management workstation
with the AT-UWC programs, as explained in this section.

You can use a DHCP server that supports option 43 to supply the
IP address of the management workstation with the program to the
access point. This manual does not explain how to configure
DHCP option 43.

Enabling the

Controller Client

To configure the controller client, perform the following procedure:

1. From the Manage menu, select Managed Access Point Settings.

The access point displays the “Configure Managed Access Point
Parameters” window in Figure 28.
