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
Ensure a minimum of 1 GB of RAM is avalable for the UI to display and function
properly. Exceptionally, the NX service platforms require 4 GB of RAM.
Tip
The best practice is
to use a browser with HTML5 support.
Use any of 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
Follow these 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 supported
web browser.
The computer will return part of the zero-config IP address (169.254.*.*) on
the connected port. To obtain the final two numbers of the address, you will
need to convert the final two hexidecimal values of the controller's MAC
address.
For example, if the AP's MAC address is 00:C0:23:00:F0:0A you
will need to convert F0 and 0A. You can do this with the built-in
Windows scientific calculator or an online hex to decimal converter. The
decimal value of F0 is 240 and the value of 0A is 10, so the completed
zero-config IP address in the example is 169.254.240.10.
Open a browser and type https://<controller's zero-config IP address> to
access the web UI login screen. For the example in step 2, the address is
https://169.254.240.10. The web UI login screen appears.
