See your whole Aruba Instant network — from your pocket.
IAPViewer connects to your Virtual Controller over the local network and gives you on-demand visibility across every AP, radio, client, and port. No cloud, no Aruba Central, no subscription.
Built for home labs, small deployments, and anyone running Aruba Instant APs without Central.
Everything your virtual controller knows, at a glance
Connect once and IAPViewer maps your entire wireless and wired environment — flagging performance issues automatically, entirely read-only so nothing is ever changed on the controller.
Every AP, its 2.4 / 5 / 6 GHz radios, and connected clients in one live hierarchical view — plus wired ports and their LLDP-identified neighbours.
Channels & spectrumA WiFi-Explorer-style spectrum of every AP radio across all bands, with foreign and rogue SSIDs overlaid so you see what you're competing with.
Client diagnosticsSignal, SNR, data rate, PHY, auth and manufacturer for every client — with slow-speed, poor-signal, retry and asymmetric-RF issues flagged automatically.
RF Neighbors & RF LocateEvery network your APs can hear, vendor-attributed even on randomized MACs — and estimate where a client or AP physically is on a floor map.
Voice & Video (UCC)A live view of the Wi-Fi calls and meeting-app sessions your cluster can see, split into Now / Registered / Recent.
Bluetooth DiscoveryEach AP's BLE radio and the beacons and asset-tags it hears — no Bluetooth scanning by your own device.
Upgrade PlannerPer-model AOS support ranges so you can plan firmware upgrades and spot models capped before 8.13.
And much moreDeny List & cleanup scripts, VSG best-practice checks, on-demand logs, config viewer, CSV export, search, and full customisation.
One price. No subscription.
Cloud management is licensed per AP, per year. Visibility shouldn't be.

Every AP. Every site. All your devices. No per-AP licence, no cloud dependency, nothing renews.
Get it on the App Store →Central is full cloud management — if you need that, it's the right tool. If you need clear visibility into an Aruba Instant cluster, you don't need a subscription.
Central pricing is HPE list for per-AP subscription; street pricing is lower at volume.
