This chapter describes how to use the 3WXM monitoring service. It
includes information about monitoring service requirements, accessing
monitored data, using the Explore, Status Summary, Client Monitor,
RF Monitor, and RF Trends windows, and accessing realtime performance
statistics and the event log.
The 3WXM Services regularly checks the status of the network and
reports that status to each 3WXM client that is connected to the service.
Optionally, the service also receives SNMP traps generated by the WX
switches and shows information based on those traps.
The Monitor tab displays information retrieved from the 3WXM Services.
Information is presented in the following windows within the Monitor
tab:
Status Summary—Shows the high-level status for 3com equipment.
Client Summary—Shows activity, errors, and session information for
network clients.
Alarm Summary—Shows faults (alarms) for WX switches.
Traffic Summary—Shows traffic statistics for the network.
Clicking the Details button in any of these views provides more
information about the data in the view.
