Fundamentals

Configure your controller and AP using either the Web User Interface (WebUI) or the command line interface (CLI).

WebUI

Each controller supports up to 22 simultaneous WebUI connections. The WebUI is accessible through a standard Web browser from a remote management console or workstation. The WebUI includes configuration wizards that step you through easy-to-follow configuration tasks. The wizards are:

AP Wizard—basic AP configuration

Controller Wizard—basic controller configuration

LAN Wizard—creating and configuring new WLAN(s) associated with the “default” ap-group

License Wizard—installation and activation of software licenses

In addition to the wizards, the WebUI includes a Dashboard monitoring feature that provides enhanced visibility into your wireless network’s performance and usage. This allows you to easily locate and diagnose WLAN issues. For details on the WebUI Dashboard, see Dashboard Monitoring.

CLI

The CLI is a text-based interface accessible from a local console connected to the serial port on the controller or through a Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) session.

NOTE: By default, you access the CLI from the serial port or from an SSH session. You must explicitly enable Telnet on your

controller in order to access the CLI via a Telnet session.
