Cisco Systems OL-7426-03 Manual De Usuario

The Cisco Wireless Control System runs on Windows 2000 or 2003 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 
servers. The Windows Cisco WCS can run as a normal Windows application, or can be installed as a 
service, which runs continuously and resumes running after a reboot. The Linux Cisco WCS always runs 
as a normal Linux application. 
The 

 allows Cisco WCS operators to control all permitted Cisco WLAN Solution 

configuration, monitoring, and control functions through Internet Explorer 6.0 on a Windows worksta-
tion (or other) web browser window. The Cisco WCS operator permissions are defined by the Cisco WCS 
administrator in the Cisco WCS User Interface using the Cisco WCS User Interface Admin tab, which 
allows the Cisco WCS administrator to administer user accounts and schedule periodic maintenance 
tasks. 
Cisco WCS simplifies Cisco Wireless LAN Controller configuring and monitoring while decreasing data 
entry errors with the 

 algorithm. The Cisco WCS 

uses industry-standard SNMP protocol to communicate with Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers.
The Cisco WCS also includes the 

, which allows you to vectorize bitmapped campus, 

floor plan, and outdoor area maps, add and change wall types, and import the resulting vector wall 
format maps into the Cisco WCS database. The vector files allow the Cisco WCS RF Prediction Tool to 
make much better RF predictions based on more accurate wall and window RF attenuation values.

Cisco WCS Base

The Cisco WCS Base version supports wireless client data access, rogue access point detection and 
containment functions, Cisco WLAN Solution monitoring and control, and includes graphical views of the 
following:

•

Auto-discovery of 

 as they associate with Cisco 

Wireless LAN Controllers.

•

Auto-discovery, and containment or notification of 

.

•

Map-based organization of Access Point coverage areas, helpful when the enterprise spans 
more than one geographical area. (Refer to 

.)

•

User-supplied Campus, Building and Floor graphics, which show the following:

-

Locations and status of managed access points. (Refer to 

.)

-

Locations of rogue access points, based on signal strength received by the nearest 
managed Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points. (Refer to 

.)

-

Coverage hole alarm information for Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points is 
based on received signal strength from clients. This information appears in a tabular 
rather than map format. (Refer to 

-

RF coverage maps.
