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 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...

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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?

    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.

  • 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

    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.

  • A JAVA PROGRAM TO CONTROL SYSTEM EVENTS OF WIDOWS XP

    Hello everyone.
    The question is: can I develop a java program that can control system events of a windows environment? For example a program to shut down the computer, log off or open and close windows applications?
    If so, how can i do that??
    please help me. Your help is appreciated in advance.

    Hi,
    If you want to make native calls, you can use JNI (Java Native Interface).
    Using JNI, you call call any C/C++ funtions.
    Please visit, http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jni/ for JNI structure. To program using JNI, read the book given in the link. It is very useful for beginners.

    Is it possiblie to run an aironet 1300 device participating on a wireless distribution system ?
    It's configured as autonomous AP. I have 3 other Ap's from linksys running a wds and want this cisco one to join them.

    Hi,
    Yes 1300 can be configured as WDS.
    Here is the config example section from the 1300 ap where you can find an example of WDS configuration:

  • Integrating with external access control system

    Hi,
    I am new at the network but have read a lot recently about the above subject as much as I could. However, I am a bit mixed up at something. I understand in order to update SAP HR module with employees time and attendance logs I need to interface with a certified PDC interface => (SAP ECC - PLANT DATA COLLECTION - TIME & ATTENDANCE AND EMPLOYEE EXPENDITURES (HR-PDC)
    I wish to develop a system that updates the the SAP HR with employee attendance logs. In addition I also wish enroll new employees into my access control system database by polling the SAP HR database.
    Now my question is if I use .NET connector:
    1. Does the connector it include functions that can help with the above requirements?
    2. Is the use of PDC interface here still a must?
    Thanks

    For time management with the help of transaction pt80 you can download the information about employees with the help of idoc. And there are some programs a.k.a connectors that link access control systems and SAP so that you do not hire the same employee in the access control problem. You hire the employee in SAP and SAP sends the information (HR Minimaster DATA) to the related program.
    It is also do the same thing for the employees who resign. I mean if an employee is fired or resigned from the company than it is sent to the related system.
    These can be found under PDC integrated systems. You can find information about the systems from Ecohub. http://ecohub.sap.com/
    I hope this answer will help.
