As a network administrator, you can manage and view controller and service platform
settings, configuration data, and status using the WiNG web UI.
Access the Web UI
Using a web browser on a client connected to the subnet in which the web UI is
configured on, you can access the controllers and service platforms GUI.
Browser and System Requirements
The system used for accessing the GUI must have at least 1 GB of RAM for the UI to
display and function properly, with the exception of NX service platforms, which
require 4 GB of RAM.
Tip
The best practice is to use a browser with
HTML5 support.
Use the following browsers to access the WiNG web UI:
Google Chrome
Microsoft Edge
Safari
Firefox
The minimum supported screen resolution is 1920 × 1024 pixels.
Connect to the Web UI
Use the following steps to connect to a wireless controller or a service platform‘s
Web UI for the first time:
Connect one end of an
Ethernet cable to a LAN port on the controller or service platform, and
connect the other end to a computer with a working web browser.
Set the computer to use an IP
address between 192.168.0.10 and 192.168.0.250
on the connected port.
Set a subnet or network mask
of 255.255.255.0.
