Important: The addresses and credentials of wireless devices you want to monitor/manage
with WhatsUp Gold Wireless must be included in the discovery scan settings. Prior to
running the discovery process, we recommend assigning SNMPv2 or higher credentials to
wireless devices, controllers, and access points. SNMPv2 or higher credentials allow for
network information to be polled and passed in data batch groups, whereas SNMP v1
credentials limit device information to be polled and passed in single data operations.

Important: To ensure wireless devices are found during discovery, confirm that the Gather
information for wireless topology and performance option is selected under Settings >
Advanced Settings in the WhatsUp Gold Discovery Console.
