5 Managing MSM series access controllers
An MSM series device must use firmware 5.5 or a higher version. Otherwise, WSM cannot manage it.
WSM enables administrators to create and manage AC + fit AP networks through MSM series ACs.
IMC WSM automatically manages all ACs that are added to the IMC Platform.

AC + fit AP network.
Figure 50 AC + fit AP
Before you create a new AC + fit AP network in WSM, complete the following tasks:
•
Configure the AC so that it can access the network.
•
Connect fit APs to the AC, and make sure the fit APs and the AC can reach each other.
•
Configure SNMP communities and specify the IP address of the WSM server as the
management console for the AC, and add the AC to the IMC Platform.
To create an AC + fit AP network in WSM:
1.
Optional: Add fit AP groups, and assign the fit APs managed by the AC to these groups. For
more information about configuring fit AP groups, see "
."
2.
Configure WLANs on the AC, and bind the WLANs to the fit AP groups so that fit APs in a
group can provide wireless service for clients. For more information about configuring WLANs,
see "
3.
Optional: Configure the same parameters for multiple radios in batches on the AC to reduce
repetitive operations and improve efficiency. For more information, see "
To manage an existing wireless network, you only need to manage the ACs in WSM without creating
an AC + fit AP network in WSM.
