When "Wireless Client" is configured to "Set", the additional "Maximum Number of Wireless Client Records" described below will be displayed. Note All wireless client history information is retained after this setting is changed. Note The History Data Retention Period Setting of Wireless Clients can be set up to 90 days on the screen, but we support operation up to 14 days. When Client Packet Analysis in the AP Profile is enabled, operation for up to 90 days is supported. Note that when the "Client Packet Analysis" function is enabled, there are limitations on the management functions available in the Vista Manager EX basic functions. For more information, please see Client Connection History Management and Client Packet Analysis under Overview > What is the AWC Plug-in. Note When you use Wireless Client History with the following wireless APs, please set the log severity of the wireless AP to "information(6)" or "debug(7)". If the log severity is set to higher (lesser value) than "notice(5)", this feature will not work. The default value of the log severity of these wireless APs is "information(6)". If the wireless APs are not configured for logging, this function can still operate. Affected AP models: TQ1402, TQm1402, TQ3403, TQm3403, TQ5403, TQm5403, TQ5403e, TQ6403 GEN2, TQm6403 GEN2, TQ6602, TQ6602 GEN2, TQm6602 GEN2, TQ6702 GEN2, TQm6702 GEN2, TQ7403, TQ7613 The log severity can be set in the severity of the Syslog client in the AP profile. If you want to use the Wireless Client History View with the log function of the Syslog Client disabled, please change "Syslog Client" to "Enable" and "Severity" to "6 : informational" in the AP profile (the Syslog server IP address/host name can be a fictitious address). Apply this AP profile to the AP, and then set "Syslog Client" to "Disable" in the AP profile and apply it again.

Wireless Device Topology Data Update-Interval | Specify the refresh interval for APs and wireless clients that are displayed on the Vista Manager EX "Network Map" screen. Don't Set The AWC Plug-in does not send wireless device information to the Vista Manager EX. In this case, the wireless devices managed by the AWC Plug-in don't appear on the Device list or the network map in the Vista Manager EX. The information of these devices are not checked against the registered device information on the Vista Manager EX, so custom icons on the Vista Manager EX will not reflected in the AWC Plug-in, and are displayed as default icons instead. Set: The AWC Plug-in refreshes wireless device information automatically. The wireless devices managed by the AWC Plug-in will be displayed in the Vista Manager EX. If a custom icon is applied in Vista Manager EX, it will also be reflected in the AWC Plug-in's floor map and other displays. Also, set the update interval with a value from 1 to 59 (unit: minutes). Information on wireless devices and link lines between APs in the AWC-SC are reflected in the network map according to this update interval. It is set to 1 minute by default. When "Wireless Device Topology Data Update-Interval" is set to "Set", the following additional "Target Data" will be displayed.
Target Data | Select the target data for the information displayed on the "Network Map" screen of the Vista Manager EX from "AP and Associated Client" or "Only AP". The default is "AP and Associated Client". When "AP and Associated Client" is selected, information on the currently connected wireless client will be sent along with the AP's IP address, MAC address, management status, etc. If the relevant wireless client is registered in the Vista Manager EX, the custom icon of the registered wireless client on the Vista Manager EX will also be reflected in the AWC Plug-in's floor map. When "Only AP" is selected, only the IP address, MAC address, and management status of the wireless AP will be notified, and no information about the connected wireless clients will be sent. In this case, the custom icons of wireless clients registered on the Vista Manager EX will not be reflected in the AWC plug-in floor map, even if the corresponding wireless clients are registered in the Vista Manager EX.

### Permission Setting (AMF Security WebAPI)

When the AMF Security server (AMF-Sec or AMF Security mini) receives a threat event, it queries the AWC plug-in for the MAC address from the IP address of the threat device via Web API.
Register the IP address of the AMF Security server that you want to allow access to in order to respond only to inquiries from legitimate AMF Security servers.
AMF Security Server IP addresses can be registered up to 1,024 entries.
