About the Cisco WCS User Interface

The Cisco WCS User Interface interface allows the network operator to create and configure Cisco WLAN Solution coverage area layouts, configure system operating parameters, monitor real-time Cisco WLAN Solution operation, and perform troubleshooting tasks using a standard HTTP or HTTPS web browser window. The Cisco WCS User Interface interface also allows a Cisco WCS administrator to create, modify and delete user accounts, change passwords, assign permissions, and schedule periodic maintenance tasks.

Cisco recommends Internet Explorer 6.0 or later on a Windows workstation web browser for full access to the Cisco WCS functionality.

Note: The HTTPS (SSL over HTTP) interface is enabled by default, and the HTTP interface can be manually activated in the Command Line Interface, Web User Interface and Cisco WCS User Interface.
