XMC Wireless Management Controller Name

Stefan_K_ — Thu, 08 Oct 2020 16:05:42 GMT

Hello,

in XMC Wireless Manager IdentiFi Controllers are displayed with their IP-Address and XCC Appliances are displayed as “controller”.

On the controllers itself they have a proper name configured.

This makes it hard to distinguish.

Any way to change this? So that at least the XCC Appliances are displayed with their IP-Address? Better would be to have the Name displayed.

XMC version is 8.5.0.

Best regards
Stefan

Stefan,

Do a right click on it and select Configure

Go to the tab Device Annotation and delete the nickname.

Rediscover the device and it should show the snmp name.

Hi Mig,

thank for the quick reply. A nickname was already set for all the controllers, but I set it again and did a rediscover. XCCs are now displayed with their Nickname, IdentiFi still with their IP-Address. Strange… Any idea? Otherwise this would be okay for me that way.

Best regards
Stefan

Stefan,

You have to delete the nickname and rediscover.

Let me know

Aah, yes, you’re right… Reading is hard. 😄

I just did that: Deleted the Nickname and then did a rediscover. Network → Devices now shows the System Name for the controllers. So far so good, but under Wireless → Controllers it now still shows IP-Addresses for IdentiFi and “controller” for XCC.

Well… Seems like setting a nickname manually for these devices at least works for XCC. Not using a nickname at all will result in “controller” being shown.

I did an Upgrade to 8.5.1 - now the XCCs are also listed with their IP-Address and not with “controller”. Not sure if the update or the server restart during the update is responsible for this.

I’m running 8.5.0 and XCC are listed with their IPs while in devices I see the snmp discovered name.

Hi Mig,

this is the same for me now. I think the restart fixed this. Well, better than nothing. 🙂

Thank you!
