There are three different types of wireless devices that can be monitored with Orion NPM:

Wireless autonomous access points

Wireless controllers

Wireless thin APs

Wireless autonomous access points , or thick or heavy access points, are wireless devices that can be managed and configured individually. Wireless thin APs depend on some type of centralized management device, called a wireless controller or wireless LAN controller, to retrieve its configuration. And the final type is the wireless controller itself, which is a centralized management server for thin wireless APs. Orion NPM has a view for each type of wireless node and automatically assigns the correct web view when the device has been added to the Orion database.

When a wireless controller is added to the Orion NPM database, all of the access points that are registered to that controller will be imported as well. Controllers and access points will be linked to each other in the Wireless summary view only after topology and interface data has been collected by the poller. For example, imagine that you have a Cisco wireless controller with five access points associated to it. You need to add the controller and all of the access points to the database before Orion NPM will poll each node.

Orion NPM does a pretty good job of auto-detecting wireless nodes and assigning them the correct web views in the dashboard. However, it is possible that an incorrect web view will be assigned to the node. If this happens, you will need to correct the web view options for that node. To do this, simply change the default view for that device type in Orion Web Administration. Follow the next set of instructions to change a web view per device type:

Open Orion Web Administration.

Under Views, click on Views by Device Type.
