Navigating to Configuration Information for a Specific Access Point
and Managing Standalone Access Points
In general, the AT-WA7400 Management Software is designed for central
management of clustered access points. For access points in a cluster, all
access points in the cluster reflect the same configuration. In this case, it
does not matter which access point you actually connect to for
administration.
There may be situations, however, when you want to view or manage
information on a particular access point. For example, you might want to
check status information such as client associations or events for an
access point. Or you might want to configure and manage features on an
access point that is running in standalone mode. In these cases, you can
navigate to the AT-WA7400 Management Software web interface for
individual access points by clicking the IP address links on the Access
Points page.
All clustered access points are shown on the Cluster > Access Points
page. To navigate to clustered access points, you can simply click on the
IP address for a specific cluster member shown in the list.
Navigating to an
Access Point by
Using its IP
Address in a URL
You can also link to the web pages of a specific access point by entering
the IP address for that access point as a URL directly into a web browser
address bar in the following form:
http://
IPAddressOfAccessPoint
where IPAddressOfAccessPoint is the address of the particular access
point you want to monitor or configure.
This is the only way to navigate to configuration information for a
standalone access point.
If you do not know the IP address of a standalone access point, use
KickStart to find all access points on the network and you should be able
to derive which ones are standalone by comparing KickStart findings with
access points listed on the Cluster > Access Points page. The access
points that KickStart finds that are not shown on the this page are probably
standalone access points. (For more information on using KickStart, see
“Running KickStart to Find Access Points on the Network” on page 26.)
