 Reports can be run from the Master Console to display information from multiple AWMS stations; because

such reports can be extremely large, reports can also be run as summary only so that they generate more

quickly and finish as a manageable file size.

 The Master Console can also be used to populate group-level configuration on managed AWMS installations

using the Global Groups feature.

 The Master Console offers a display of devices that are in a Down or Error state anywhere on the network.

This information is supported on Master Console pages that display device lists such as Home > Overview

and APs Devices > List.

 The Master Console and Failover servers can be configured with a Managed AMP Down trigger that

generates an alert if communication is lost to a managed or watched AWMS station. The Master Console or

Failover server can also send email or NMS notifications about the event. See “Overview of Triggers and

Alerts” on page181.

Using the Public Portal on Master Console

The Master Console also contains an optional Public Portal which allows any user to view basic group-level data

for each managed AWMS. This feature is disabled by default for security reasons; no AWMS or Master Console

Master Console section. Once enabled, a new Portal tab will appear to the right of the Groups tab (refer to the

navigation section in Figure 151 in the previous page). The URL of the public portal will be https://

your.AMP.name/public. When you upgrade to the latest version of AWMS, the public portal is disabled by

default, regardless of the type of license.

The Public Portal supports configuration of the iPhone interface. This can be configured using the Master

Console AWMS page. See “Defining General AWMS Server Settings” on page34.

Adding a Managed AMP with the Master Console

Perform the following steps to add a managed AWMS console.

1. Navigate to the Home > Managed AMPs page.

NOTE: The license key determines if the server will behave as a Master Console or as a standard AWMS server.
