Integration Modes
| Mode | How it works | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud API | Wiacom connects directly to the vendor’s cloud management platform | Vendor offers a cloud dashboard with an API (e.g. Cisco Meraki, Aruba Central) |
| Local controller API | Wiacom communicates with an on-premises controller | Vendor controller is self-hosted and exposes a local API (e.g. Ruckus SmartZone, UniFi) |
| Manual / Legacy | Device is configured directly with Wiacom RADIUS and portal settings | Any vendor — no API required |
| Wiacom Agent | Local appliance bridges Wiacom cloud to equipment inside a private network | Equipment is only reachable locally — no cloud API available |
