Can Wireless Control System Send Alarms As Traps to a trap receiver

Can the Cisco Wireless Control System be configured to send its alarms as SNMP traps to a specified trap receiver ? if so how is that capability configured ? is it thru Notification Receiver ?

Yes, it can. And yes through the Notification Reciever. Pity though, it can only send traps in regards to Guest Account Activity such as guest association and authentication.
Hopefully future versions of WCS will be more versatile in that regard.
Cheers

WCS (wireless controll system) old alarms

I'm trying to see the old alarms from WCS, I mean on top of the screen displayed Alarms summary specifically critical alarms (red triangle) when these alarms are resolved which is the record that there ever was this alarm
can any one help my thanx

Hi,
You may be able to find back cleared alarms through an advanced search, by choosing Alarms as a Search Category and maybe other parameters such as Clear as a Severity.
Hope this helps,

Cisco Wireless Control System need wireless Lan Controller ?

Cisco Wireless Control System need wireless Lan Controller , for Rogue detection

Hi Joao,
The WCS is used in conjuntion with the WLC (Wireless Lan Controller) for Rogue Detection. It is not a must for this function but more of an add-on :)
The Cisco WCS is an optional network component that works in conjunction with Cisco Aironet Lightweight Access Points, Cisco wireless LAN controllers and the Cisco Wireless Location Appliance.
From this doc;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6305/index.html
Overview of WCS
The Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) is a Cisco Unified Wireless Network Solution management tool that adds to the capabilities of the web user interface and command line interface (CLI), moving from individual controllers to a network of controllers. WCS includes the same configuration, performance monitoring, security, fault management, and accounting options used at the controller level and adds a graphical view of multiple controllers and managed access points.
WCS runs on Windows 2003 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4.0 and AS 4.0 servers. On both Windows and Linux, WCS can run as a normal application or as a service, which runs continuously and resumes running after a reboot.
The WCS user interface enables operators to control all permitted Cisco Unified Wireless Network Solution configuration, monitoring, and control functions through Internet Explorer 6.0 or later. Operator permissions are defined by the administrator using the WCS user interface Administration menu, which enables the administrator to manage user accounts and schedule periodic maintenance tasks.
WCS simplifies controller configuration and monitoring while reducing data entry errors with the Cisco Unified Wireless Network Controller autodiscovery algorithm. WCS uses the industry-standard SNMP protocol to communicate with the controllers.

Wireless Control System Software

I could use some recommendations from the forums here. I have an 8-story apartment building in which the building management wants to install wireless to cover everyone and every floor. They also want to be able to manage all the APs from a centralized location. Obviously, a challenge since this is a new building and I can't do a site curvey yet.
But here's what I'm thinking from a theoretical standpoint. I'd probably want as many 1242AG access points as needed for actual coverage (anywhere from 2-20), since they handle lots of walls, etc. better than most other APs. I'd also want a 4402 WLAN Controller for handling anyone moving around, etc. Finally, I'd need the Wireless Control System software running on a server connected to the WLAN Controller.
First of two questions: does this all make sense to you, or am I over (or under-) thinking this?
Second question: I've found plenty of places where we can purchase licenses for the Wireless Control System software, but where is the software itself? Is it a free download with no licenses? Or does it come with the 4402 or something?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
You maybe don't need WCS - it's an nice extra, but you can just get a 4400-series controller and some APs and still configure security policies etc centrally and have the RF side of things auto-managed.
I'd get a 4400, and I'd get 1000-series APs (1010s if you just want built in antennaes or 1020s if you want to add external ones - 1010s should be find in most scenarios).
I've not used any 1200 series with the controllers yet, but heard reports of problems and the LWAPP firmware for these is pretty new - probably best to stick with the tried and tested ones for now.
Just leave yourself capacity on your 4400 controller for more APs in case you have some poor coverage areas, you can then just chuck up another AP to plug the hole, as it were...

Wireless Control System Error Msgs.

Hi,
I have a problem with Wireless Control System (WCS v7) WCS-STANDARD-K9 and installed with WCS-PLUS-100 (installed two licenses) so total licensed installed is for 200 Acesspoint's in WCS. I have 149 AP's connected to WCS and its shows error " System is in voilation of license. The number of APs (149) registered is greater than licensed (0). Please go to the license center under the Administation Menu to add additional WCS licenses.
What would be the reason for this error,? Thanks

If you go to the license center in WCS, do you see a total of 200 AP support. You need to make sure you have a base license before you add additional plus license. I had an issue before, where I added a whole bunch of plus license after I installed a 250 base. I had 400+ APs and ran into the same issue but I had 250 base. Well I forgot to add the other 250 base so I had to remove all the plus license before I could add the other 250 base. Then I had to add all those plus license after that. The license center will tell you exactly how many APs it will support. From what you posted, it looks like you have 0.

WAP200E and Cisco Wireless Control System

Hi.
I have a customer with a linux OS machine running Cisco Wireless Controll System.
He needs are to add a new wireless AP with the following features :
- compatible with most laptops
- exterior conditions "resistant" (sun, rain...)
- reasonnable performance (the AP would be a a roof with people on the roof itself, max distance : 15 meters, no walls)
AND
Which product would you recommend ?
I saw the WAP200E but I have no idea
- if it is compatible with Cisco Wireless Control System
- what antenna(s) to buy

Hi Yves,
The WAP200E is not compatible with the WCS.
1. How high (in relation to the client) is the AP going to be installed?
2. How is the AP going to be installed? Will it be hanging down?
3. Do you need Cisco CleanAir?

How can I control system's volume with java?

Hi, I'm trying to make a remote audio control and I need a way to set current volume by code.
After looking at java sound APIs I came up with this:
line = mixer.getLine(lineInfo);
boolean opened = line.isOpen() || line instanceof Clip;
if(!opened){
     System.out.println("Line is not open, trying to open it...");
     line.open();
     opened = true;
if(line.isControlSupported(FloatControl.Type.VOLUME)){
          FloatControl volumeCtrl = (FloatControl)line.getControl(FloatControl.Type.VOLUME);
               System.out.println("Current volume is: "+volumeCtrl.getValue());
}I tried this code with every mixer I have (althought I think it's the "SPEAKER" one...) but I always get 1.0 as current volume, no matter what.
So, I'm getting something wrong..can you help me?:(

Late but just to make it clear, the answer to these kind of questions is the same 999/1000 times. As soon as your question takes this form:
"how do I do SOMETHING in OPERATING SYSTEM using Java",
the answer is:
"You need to write a native library that can do it and call that using JNI or JNA from Java."
Because Java is cross-platform, it cannot do platform-specific stuff like changing the volume or whatever you want to do to control the OS. You need to use the operating system's unique API layer to do it.

License WCS (Wireless Control System) Problem to install

Hello,
I'm Christopher, I have a need to update the WCS and license this, but when I perform the load operation, this throws me this message.
"You must have Base a license in order to install an upgrade license"
How I can fix it?

Hi Christopher,
Base license should always be installed before you can upgrade license count.
For ex if you buy 2 AP's initially and got WCS license with them and installed then on WCS.
Now after few days you buy few more AP's and want to add them to WCS you won't be able to do so unless you have base license. So please contact license team to get base license(Only needs to be installed once not everytime.)

Wireless Control System Question

Hello ...
Can someone tell me how I can see a list of clients connected to a specific access point using the WCS? I cant seem to find the location in WCS that provides this info.
Also - can I specify which AP the client connects to via the WCS?
Thanks,

Go to the search box and enter the AP your your choice. You'll get an option of either Monitor or COnfigure. Choose Monitor. Choose the AP of your choice. Go to the fourth tab: Current Associated Clients.
Also - can I specify which AP the client connects to via the WCS?
Specify a different SSID and configure AP Groups. YOU can configure your clients to connect to a specific AP.

Wireless control system

hi! If i did not select the "Apply to AccessPoint" during the creation of new controller template process wizard thru the Controller Template Launch Pad (assuming that i;ve successfully applied the template to wlc), will i be able to apply/see the AP in the Lightweight AP template creation (select APs tab)? What's the different between adding the AP in the controller template launch pad and Lightweight AP template creation page? Must i include the AP into the controller template launch pad before i can see it in the Lightweight AP template creation page?
Thx

Hi,
if I understood correctly what you were talking about, applying a template on APs through the controller launch pad applies it to all APs currently associated to a controller while selecting APs manually in the AP template launch pad applies it to selected APs regardless of the WLC they are on.\\
How do APs appear in the select list of the templates ? Simply by WCS knowing them, so usually by being associated to an WLC that WCS knows.

System-wide alarm in iPhone SDK

Is there an equivalent of CalAlarm class in the iPhone SDK? Does anyone know how else we can set a system-wide alarm?

Until push notification is added to the SDK, you cannot set a system-wide alarm.

Can Wireless Home Audio products be controlled via IP with any other devices?

I'm interested in knowing if the Wireless Home Audio Director, Conductor or Player can be controlled via IP with alternative controllers? Specifically, I'm interested in integrating the products into a universal remote control or home control system and still have 2 way communications with feedback. IP and RS232 are the most commons ways of accomplishing this.

Hi,
Maybe for basic functions like (play, stop, next) using the IR remote, a third party IR based universal remote may work but that's a big gamble to take, anyway what would be the purpose then of the Linksys DMRW1000 (IP based remote control) remote that Linksys is selling if its compatible with third party remotes.

Well that's my thoughts on this, I hope you'll find the device your looking for.

How can I control the image size when I export form iphoto, the choice is too limited, I need to send a photo under 3 MB but if I choose high quaulity it is only 1.1 and i need to keep the best quaulity I can. Thanks for help.

How can I control the image size when I export form iphoto, the choice is too limited, I need to send a photo under 3 MB but if I choose high quaulity it is only 1.1 and i need to keep the best quaulity I can. Thanks for help.

Any image can only be as large as the Original. With a program like Photoshop you can UpRes an image and get it to a bigger size, larger files size as well, but the actual quality of the image will be degraded, depending on the UpRes system and the original quality of the image.
iPhoto is not the program to be doing that in and I don't think it even has that option.
So I suspect the image you are trying to send isn't much bigger than what you are getting. You can also try Exporting it from iPhoto to yopur desktop and see what size you end up with. If it is still that 209KB +/- file size then that is the size of the original image.
