Managing Access Points and Clusters
The AT-WA7400 Management Software shows current basic configuration
settings for clustered access points (location, IP address, MAC address,
status, and availability) and provides a way of navigating to the full
configuration for specific access points if they are cluster members.
Standalone access points or those which are not members of this cluster
do not show up in this listing. To configure standalone access points, you
must discover (via KickStart) or know the IP address of the access point
and by using its IP address in a URL (
http:// IPAddressOfAccessPoint ).
Note
The AT-WA7400 Management Software is not designed for multiple,
simultaneous configuration changes. If you have a network that
includes multiple access points, and more than one administrator is
logged on to the web pages and making changes to the
configuration, all access points in the cluster will stay in synch but
there is no guarantee that all configuration changes specified by
multiple users will be applied.
