Monitoring Your Wireless Network
Monitoring Individual APs
•
Access Point: The AP's description, if configured, or the MAC address if no name or
description is available.
•
Channel: The channel that the neighbor AP is currently using.
•
Signal (dB): Signal strength.
•
Path Score (status): A higher score indicates better performance over the link between this
AP and its neighbor. Note that only ZoneFlex APs of the same radio type can mesh with
one another. If the AP is of a different radio type than the one you are currently viewing,
this field will display "N/A (Unknown)."
Access Point Sensor Information
If your APs include internal sensors, ZoneDirector will display the AP's status in this section.
Temperature and orientation sensors are available on most Ruckus Wireless outdoor APs, and
orientation sensors are available on the ZoneFlex 7962 indoor AP.
Orientation
This sensor displays the mounting orientation of the AP. Three orientations are possible:
•
Desktop/Horizontal Mount
•
Ceiling/Horizontal Mount
•
Wall/Vertical Mount
