• Export as CSV:
  Lets you export the AP list information (Device Name, Management Status, Configuration Status, IP address, MAC address, AP Profile, Management Group and Tags). The exported filename has the format "vista_access_points_yyyymmdd-hhmmss.csv".
  
  
• Export Report:
  Lets you export the AP Report (Wireless Controller's IP address, AP's IP address, subnet mask, whether the DHCP configuration is valid, MAC address, AP Model, management status, config status, floor map name, the order of radio bands to describe channels and Tx powers in the following columns, channels, Tx power, firmware versions, and serial number) into a CSV (Comma Separated Value) format file. The CSV filename is in the format of "Vista_access_points_report_yyyymmdd-hhmmss.csv".
  
  
• Edit Tags:

Note

The maximum number of APs to reboot in a single operation is 350.

Note

The number of APs that can be updated at a time depends on the traffic rate between the AWC Plug-in and each AP.
If the traffic rate between the AWC Plug-in and each AP is 1 Gbps, the maximum number of APs that can be updated at one time is approximately 200 for the TQ5403, TQ5403e and TQm5403. Otherwise it is up to 350 units.
If the bands are used for other communication, the maximum may be less than the above number.
