Supporting Multiple W-AirWave Servers
You can monitor multiple W-AirWave servers using the Master Console. After you add the W-AirWave servers to
Master Console, they will be polled for basic W-AirWave information.
The Overview page in the Master Console provides summary statistics for the entire network at a glance.
l Reports can be run from the Master Console to display information from multiple W-AirWave 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.
l The Master Console can also be used to populate group-level configuration on managed W-AirWave
installations using the Global Groups feature.
l 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.
l 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 W-AirWave station. The Master
Console or Failover server can also send email or NMS notifications about the event.
XMLAPIs are not supported on the Master Console.
If you have the Master Console license, you can also monitor your multiple W-AirWave servers using AirWave
Glass. For more information, see the AirWave Glass 1.0.0 User Guide.
Using the Public Portal on Master Console
The Master Console also contains an optional Public Portal that allows any user to view basic group-level data
for each managed W-AirWave. This feature is disabled by default for security reasons; no W-AirWave or Master
Console login is required to view the public portal. The Public Portal can be enabled in AMP Setup > General in
the Master Console section. Once enabled, a new Portal tab will appear to the right of the Groups tab . The
URL of the public portal will be https://your.AMP.name/public. When you upgrade to the latest version of W-
AirWave, the public portal is disabled by default, regardless of the type of license.
