MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide v6.4.0

• Serial number: Unique serial number assigned to the AP at the factory. Cannot be changed.
• Wireless services: Indicates the status of wireless services on the AP. A separate icon appears
for each radio on the AP. See the legend under the table for the meaning of each icon.
• Wireless clients: Indicates the number of wireless clients currently associated with the AP.
Select the number to see more information.
• Diagnostic: Indicates the status of the AP with regards to management by the controller, as
shown in the following table.
DescriptionDiagnostic
The maximum number of APs are already being managed by the controller
as defined on the Controller >> Status > AP limits page.

Local mesh has been provisioned on the AP but:Incompatible settings
◦ The APs radio is disabled.
◦ The AP radio operating mode does not support local mesh.
◦ The APs radio wireless mode does not match the one provisioned.

Installing firmware
The AP could not be authenticated by the controller. This may be due to
invalid authentication credentials supplied by the AP. (Authentication
Not authorized
settings used by the controller are defined on the Controller >> Security >
Controlled APs page.)
You should accept the AP unless it is an actual rogue.
The AP has stopped sending management information to the controller.
Rediscovery may re-establish the connection. If not the AP may have lost
power or a network failure has occurred.
Not responding
More than one controller responded to the AP discovery request with the
same priority. The AP is therefore unable to select a controller to function
as its controller. The AP will retry its discovery request shortly.
Priority conflict
You must fix the priority conflict by changing the priority setting for one
of the controllers (Controller >> Management > Device discovery).
When teaming is active, a newly discovered AP will temporarily be in this
state while it waits for the team manager to add it to the Network Tree.
Waiting for manager
The AP is restarting.Rebooting
The AP configuration is being reset to factory defaults. This is normal and
will occur when the firmware version on the controller is changed or if the
AP is not synchronized.
Resetting configuration
The AP is currently restoring its previous configuration settings.Restoring configuration
