3WXM provides summary status on devices in the network at the mobility
domain, switch or MAP level. View the summary status as the initial step
in monitoring. Summary status displays the operational status of WX
switches, MAP access points, and their radios (whether they are up or
down).
In addition, 3WXM collects network statistics for devices, including
system-level events and statistics for the wired network.
