Checking the Cisco WCS for Windows Service Status
When Cisco WCS is installed as a Service, it runs in the background. That is, it has no windows open,
so you cannot directly view its current status. To allow you to check the Cisco WCS Service status, the
Cisco WLAN Solution has a convenient Cisco WCS Status utility.
To activate the Cisco WCS Status utility, from the Windows START button, select the Programs menu,
and select Wireless Control System/Check Server Status.
The Check Server Status script launches the Check Server Status DOS window, which in turn launches
the Wireless Control System Server Status window.
When the Cisco WCS Service is active, the Wireless Control System Server Status window reports that
the Wireless Control System Server is Up
. When the Cisco WCS Service is inactive, the Wireless
Control System Server Status window reports that the Wireless Control System Server is down.
