User Guide: Vista Manager AWC Plug-in version 3.10.0

# Overview

In this section, we will show you the basic steps to configure a multi-channel (non-blanket) wireless network, through a quick tour. The steps include adding APs to the management database, putting APs on floor maps and scheduling AWC (Autonomous Wave Control) operation.
For simplicity, we assume that we are going to create the following network:

Table 1: Devices in the target network
Device Name | Device Name | Description
--- | --- | ---
AMF Master | AT-VAA | Running AMF Cloud
AlliedWare Plus Layer 3 Switch |  | IP Address: 192.168.1.1 Configured as a DHCP/NTP server
PoE+ AlliedWare Plus Switch |  | Supplying power with PoE+ On its ports for connecting wireless APs, VLAN 1 is the native VLAN and VLAN 100 is the only tagged VLAN that is allowed.
TQ6602 | TQ6602-6F-1 | IP Address: 192.168.1.100 MAC Address: 00:00:5E:00:53:00 Not joining the AMF network
TQ6602 | TQ6602-6F-2 | IP Address: 192.168.1.200 (statically assigned by DHCP server) MAC Address: 00:00:5E:00:53:20 Already joined the AMF network as a guest device
TQ6602 | TQ6602-6F-3 | IP Address: 192.168.1.201 (statically assigned by DHCP server) MAC Address: 00:00:5E:00:53:40 Already joined the AMF network as a guest device
PC |  | Running Vista Manager EX and the AWC Plug-in

We assume that the following configuration items have been completed:

- The AMF network has been added to the management database of Vista Manager EX.
- The PoE+ switch has been properly configured to accommodate APs as guest devices.
- The L3 switch has been configured with two VLANs, vlan1 (192.168.1.0/24) as the native VLAN and vlan100 (192.168.100.0/24) as the VLAN for wireless clients. DHCP pool for each VLAN was also setup.
- The PoE+ switch ports for wireless APs (and other required ports) have been configured with vlan1 as the native VLAN and vlan100 as the tagged VLAN for normal traffic.
- The APs have been configured separately with their IP addresses.

We also assume that we prepared the following image for the floor map.
