And start->all programs->AWMS->proxy server respectively.
“CCS is started”

31. Launch the AWMS
Proxy is started

32. AWMS Client Startup AWMS default root user is: Username: root

33. AWMS GUI Main Window

34. AWMS Operations

35. SNMP Setup In AP (A2 and C1 GUI is shown)
Before operating the AWMS, make sure the SNMP Setup have been finished in AP and keep AP and AWMS client in same IP segment.
Below is an example for SNMP setup in AP.
Enabled SNMP
Read/Write Community are SNMP access security strings
Access Subnet IP/Mask: AWMS proxy domain
Notification Server: AWMS proxy IP address

36. Make sure the items below are same with the snmpv3 file.
Automatic NE Discovery—SNMP V3
For B5/B5Lite/B5 CPE
SNMP v3 configuration of B5 1
Make sure the items below are same with the snmpv3 file. 2 3 4 6 5 7

37. Automatic NE Discovery—SNMP V3
For B5/B5Lite/B5 CPE
Go to the AWMS installation path “Altai Technologies>AWMS>Proxy” and you can find the file name snmpv3. Open it in txt and make sure or change the configurations are same with the configuration of B5/B5Lite/B5 CPE.
The parameters includes username, password, security, privacy password, privacy protocol. After changing the parameters in this file, you need to save it and restart AWMS proxy

38. AWMS Proxy Registration, NE finding
Select Proxy->Add Proxy… and bring up the Proxy Registration window.
Under the tab Description, configure the following properly:
Proxy Name: The name of the Proxy name.
Description: A brief description for the corresponding Proxy Server. (Optional)
IP Address: The IP address of the Proxy Server.
In-Service: Status of the Proxy Server. The Proxy Server is active when the box is checked under the CCS, otherwise it is inactive.

39. AWMS Proxy Registration, NE finding

40. AWMS Proxy Registration, NE finding
After the box of “SNMP Discovery Enabled” is checked, the following can be configured
under Configuration Task:
Start IP: The beginning IP address of the IP address range. The range of IP addresses is
used to define the managed area under the Proxy Server.
End IP: The end IP address of the IP address range.
Net Mask: The subnet mask of the IP address range.
Read Community String: Allows AWMS to issue “Get” and “GetNext” messages
through SNMP. This value should be the same as the corresponding value in NE,
otherwise AWMS cannot read the configuration from the NE. By default, the value is
public.
Write Community String: Allows AWMS to issue “Set” messages through SNMP. This
value should be same as the corresponding value in NE, otherwise AWMS cannot write
the configuration from the NE. By default, the value is netman.
Port: The port for the Proxy Server to communicate with NEs. By default, the value is
161.

41. Automatic NE Discovery—SNMP V2c
For A8n/A8/A2N/C1/C1n
In Proxies and Maps Tree, select one proxy to discover NEs. Right click, select Proxy Registration…
Uncheck “In-Service” checkbox and click “Save” button.
Switch to the SNMP Discovery Configuration tab, fill in Start IP, End IP…
Click the “Add” button. Click “Save” button.
Put the registered proxy in service
NOTE: Proxy Sever should not be In-Service before proceed to the SNMP Discovery Configuration since it cannot be modified if the corresponding Proxy Server is in service.

42. Automatic NE Discovery—SNMP V3
For B5/B5Lite/B5 CPE
In Proxies and Maps Tree, select one proxy to discover NEs. Right click, select Proxy Registration…
Uncheck “In-Service” checkbox and click “Save” button.
Switch to the SNMP Discovery Configuration tab, fill in Start IP, End IP…
Click the “Add” button. Click “Save” button.
Put the registered proxy in service
NOTE: Proxy Sever should not be In-Service before proceed to the SNMP Discovery Configuration since it cannot be modified if the corresponding Proxy Server is in service.

43. AWMS Proxy Registration, NE finding
After configuring the CCS and the Proxy (in service) properly, the Proxy will begin NE discovery automatically.
When the Proxy(s) discovers unregistered NEs, the NEs will be shown as Unregistered NEs under the defined Proxy in the Network Topology Tree.
Select the Unregistered NE, Right Click, select on “Register As Managed”. Then you can use AWMS to manage the AP.

44. NE Registration Managed: The NE you want to manage. Can
be configured by AWMS.
External: The NE is not part of managed
network.
Rogue: The unauthorized NE which may
potentially be a security breach.
