l Reports can be run from the Master Console to display information from multiple 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 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 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.
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 AirWave. This feature is disabled by default for security reasons; no 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 (refer to the navigation section in
Figure 170 in "Supporting AirWave Servers with the Master Console" on page 271). The URL of the public portal will
be https://your.AMP.name/public. When you upgrade to the latest version of AirWave, the public portal is disabled by
default, regardless of the type of license.
