Checking the Cisco WCS Windows Service StatusChecking the Cisco WCS Windows Service Status
When Cisco WCS is installed as a Service, it runs in the background. That is, it has no windows open, so
you cannot directly view its current status. To allow you to check the Cisco WCS Service status, Cisco
SWAN has provided a convenient Cisco WCS Status utility.
To activate the Cisco WCS Status utility, from the Windows START button, select the
Programs menu, and select Cisco Wireless Control System/Check Server Status.
The Check Server Status script launches the Start Cisco WCS Service DOS window, which in
turn launches the Cisco WCS Server Status window.
Note: You can close the Cisco WCS Server Status window at any time, if you wish.
When you want to view the current Cisco WCS status, from the Windows START
button, select the Programs menu, and select Cisco Wireless Control System
2.2/Check Server Status to view the Cisco WCS Server Status window again.
