Import Host Table to check device’s availability

Import the Host Table from a file (for convenience, you can retrieve the Host table on a network disk for the ease of access). Once the Host Table is imported, IWMS will automatically check the availability of APs and WEBs listed in the Host Table. This is an extremely powerful feature to make up for the inadequacy of Auto-Discovery. Auto-Discovery can only find InstantWave devices when they are alive. Failed devices cannot be found via Auto-Discovery. The devices listed in the Host Table should be available and provide the service. If they do not exist, IWMS can report their absence immediately so that the system administrator can take immediate action.. The following chart is a typical example. The device with IP address 192.168.1.190 is not responding.
