About the Cisco WCS User InterfaceCisco WCS User Interface
The Cisco WCS User Interface allows the Network operator to create and configure Cisco SWAN
coverage area layouts, configure system operating parameters, monitor real-time Cisco SWAN opera-
tion, and perform troubleshooting tasks using a standard HTTP or HTTPS Web Browser window. The
Cisco WCS User Interface also allows the Network operator 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.
The Network operator creates new usernames passwords and assigns them to predefined permissions
groups. This task is described in Managing Cisco WCS and Database
.
Network operators perform their tasks as described in Using the Cisco Wireless Control System
.
About Cisco Wireless LAN Controller AutodiscoveryCisco Wireless LAN Controller Autodiscovery
Manually adding Cisco Wireless LAN Controller data to a management database can be time consuming,
and is susceptible to data entry errors. The Cisco Wireless Control System
(Cisco WCS) includes a
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.
