5 - 4 WiNG 5.6 Access Point System Reference Guide
WIPS is not supported on a WLAN basis, rather, sensor functionality is supported on the access point radio(s) available to each
managed WLAN. When an access point radio is functioning as a WIPS sensor, it is able to scan in sensor mode across all legal
channels within the 2.4 and 5.0 GHz band. Sensor functionality is not provided by the access point alone. The access point
works in conjunction with a dedicated WIPS server.
To define a WIPS server configuration used with the access point’s RF Domain:
1. Select the Configuration tab from the Web UI.
2. Select Devices.
3. Select RF Domains from the options on left-hand side of the UI.
4. Select the Sensor Configuration tab.

5. Either select the + Add Row button to create a new WIPS server configuration or highlight an existing Sensor Server
Configuration and select the Delete icon to remove it.
6. Use the spinner control to assign a numerical Server ID to each WIPS server defined. The server with the lowest defined
ID is the first reached by the access point. The default ID is 1.
7. Provide the numerical (non DNS) IP Address of each server used as a WIPS sensor server by the RF Domain.
8. Use the spinner control to specify the Port of each WIPS server. The default port is 443.
9. Select OK to save the changes to the AirDefense WIPS configuration, or select Reset to revert to the last saved
configuration.
5.1.2 RF Client Name Configuration
The Client Name Configuration screen displays clients connected to RF Domain member access points adopted by
networked controllers or service platforms. Use the screen to associate administrator assigned client names to specific
connected client MAC addresses for improved client management.
To define a client name configuration used with RF Domain member devices:
1. Select the Configuration tab from the Web UI.
2. Select Devices.
