Wlan Visualization - D-Link DWL-3500AP Configuration Manual

roam if a stronger signal is detected from another nearby AP. PC clients are not tuned for
these rapid roams and therefore will often allow the signal strength to decrease
significantly before selecting a stronger signal AP to associate with – this can cause
traffic loss simply associated with a weak signal. To facilitate the clients decision to
roam an antennae can be connected to one of the APs after you have already associated
with the other.

WLAN Visualization

The WLAN Visualization component is an optional feature that graphically shows
information about the wireless network. WLAN Visualization uses a Java applet to
display D- Link WLAN Controller Switches, D- Link Access Points, other access points,
and associated wireless clients. The WLAN Visualization tool can help you visualize
where the APs are in relationship to the building.
You can upload one or more custom images to create a background for the graph. Then,
you place the WLAN components discovered by the switch on the graph to help provide
a realistic representation of your wireless network. From each object on the WLAN
Visualization graph, you can access information about the object and links to
configuration pages on the Web interface.
WLAN Visualization can help administrators do the following:
•
Track how managed APs are deployed graphically
•
Monitor the wireless network status via the dynamic updated diagram.
•
Access visual information, such as how APs are placed, how many clients are associated
to a certain AP, and where rogue APs are located graphically.
