About the Cisco WCS User InterfaceCisco WCS User Interface
The Cisco WCS User Interface interface allows the network operator to create and configure Cisco
WLAN Solution coverage area layouts, configure system operating parameters, monitor real-time Cisco
WLAN Solution operation, and perform troubleshooting tasks using a standard HTTP or HTTPS web
browser window. The Cisco WCS User Interface interface also allows a Cisco WCS administrator to
create, modify and delete user accounts, change passwords, assign permissions, and schedule periodic
maintenance tasks.
Cisco recommends Internet Explorer 6.0 or later on a Windows workstation web browser for full access
to the Cisco WCS functionality.
Note: The HTTPS (SSL over HTTP) interface is enabled by default, and the HTTP
interface can be manually activated in the Command Line Interface, Web User
Interface and Cisco WCS User Interface.
