Web UI and Initial Setup

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.

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:
  1. 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 suppported web browser.
  2. Assign the computer an IP address between 192.168.0.10 and 192.168.0.250 on the connected port.
  3. Assign a subnet or network mask of 255.255.255.0.
    1. On Windows machines, open your calculator.

      To access the calculator, type calculator on the windows search bar.

      This path varies depending on the version of Windows operating system running on your computer.

    2. With the Calculator application displayed, select Scientific or Programmer depending on the version of Windows running on your computer.
    3. Select the Hex radio button.
    4. Type the penultimate octet of the controller's MAC address.

      In this example, the AP's MAC address is: 00:C0:23:00:F0:0A. Enter F0.

    5. Select the Dec radio button.

      The calculator converts F0 into 240.

    6. Repeat this process for the last octet in the controller's MAC address

      Type A, and select Dec. The calculator converts A into 10.

      The controller's zero-config IP address is: 169.254.240.10
