Introduction
This document provides WSM configuration examples.
Wireless Service Manager (WSM), together with Intelligent Management Center (IMC) and
Intelligent Control Configuration (ICC), provides a sophisticated way for WLAN management. IMC is responsible for universal network management, ICC for configuration file management and software upgrade, and WSM for device-related wireless parameter configuration and performance monitoring.
Prerequisites

The IMC PLAT version is 7.3 (E0504) and above, and the IMC WSM version is 7.3 (E0505) and above.
The browser version is:
IE10 or IE11.
Firefox 30 and above.
Chrome 35 and above.
The access device is a wireless device.
IMC service has been enabled.
You log in as a user that has the configuration privilege, for example, an administrator.
