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:
Explore — Shows the operational status of 3Com equipment: WX
switches, MAP access points, and radios.
Status Summary — Shows tables of basic information for the 3Com
equipment.
Client Monitor — Shows activity, errors, and session information for
network clients. Additionally, you can configure a watch list of clients
and track their activity and session histories over time, up to 30 days.
RF Monitor — Shows RF information for radios, including power and
channel information.
RF Trends — Shows current and past statistics for radios. You can
view statistics up to 30 days old, and display graphs of data trends.
