Database Setting
Maximum Memory Usage | Specify the maximum amount of system memory that can be used for the AWC Plug-in database. Note Changing the maximum memory amount is not supported in the AWC Plug-in for VST-VRT. Use the default setting.

IP Address Settings
External IP address for AWC plug-in | Set the external IP address to be used for communication between the AWC Plug-in and the wireless APs. The default is "127.0.0.1". Note To manage the wireless AP, set this value to be the same as the IP address of the AWC Plug-in server (the "Wireless Controller" application in the VST-VRT configuration screen). After registering the AWC Plug-in and after assigning a new IP address to the AWC Plug-in server, be sure to change it to the same IP address as the AWC Plug-in server.
"Save" button | Saves the changes to the IP address settings in the operation.
Data Retention Period Setting
Associated Client History | Specify a retention period for associated client histories that are displayed on the Screen Reference > Wireless Monitoring > Floor Map screen. Don't Save: The AWC Plug-in does not retain associated client history. Clients are not shown on the Floor Map's client history screen. Set Retention Period: The AWC Plug-in retains associated client histories within the specified period. The range for the retention period can be from 1 to 31 days. Note When you change this setting, the associated client history is initialized. Note The Data Retention Period Setting can be set up to 31 days on the screen, but the operation with the period up to 14 days is supported. Note When you use Associated Client History with the following wireless APs, please set the log severity of the wireless AP to "information(6)" or higher. If the log severity is set to "debug(7)", this feature will not work. The default value of the log severity of these wireless APs is "information(6)", so if the wireless APs are not configured for logging, this function can still be used. Affected wireless APs: AT-TQ1402/5403/5403e/6602, AT-TQm1402/5403 The log severity can be set in the Severity of the Syslog client in the AP Profile. If you want to use the Associated 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 common setting to the wireless AP, and then set "Syslog Client" to "Disable" in the AP Profile and apply it again.
