Configuring the Access Point for the Optional AT-UWC Program

Enabling the Controller Client

The optional AT-UWC Unified Wireless Controller is a management program for the AT-TQ2450 Access Points. It lets you centralize the task of managing the access points in your network.

To use the program, you install it on one of your management workstations and then configure the controller client on the access point by entering the IP addresses of the management workstations. You cannot manage an access point with the program until you have entered the IP address of the management workstation 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.

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 26.
