Managing Access Points and Clusters

The AT-WA7400 Management Software shows current basic configuration

settings for clustered access points (location, IP address, MAC address,

status, and availability) and provides a way of navigating to the full

configuration for specific access points if they are cluster members.

Standalone access points or those which are not members of this cluster

do not show up in this listing. To configure standalone access points, you

must discover (via KickStart) or know the IP address of the access point

and by using its IP address in a URL (

http://

IPAddressOfAccessPoint

Note

The AT-WA7400 Management Software is not designed for multiple,

simultaneous configuration changes. If you have a network that

includes multiple access points, and more than one administrator is

logged on to the web pages and making changes to the

configuration, all access points in the cluster will stay in synch but

there is no guarantee that all configuration changes specified by

multiple users will be applied.
