Dell PowerConnect W-AirWave 7.4 | User Guide
Description
The number of wireless users currently associated to the wireless network via all the APs managed by
AirWave. When selected, AirWave shows a list of users that are associated. Prior to AMP 7.4, this was
called "Users".
Displays the number of non-acknowledged AirWave alerts generated by user-configured triggers. When
selected, AirWave shows a detailed list of active alerts.
When triggers are given a severity of Critical, they generate Severe Alerts. When a Severe Alert exists, a
new component appears at the right of the Status field in bold red font. Only users configured on the Home >
User Info page to be enabled to view critical alerts can see Severe Alerts. The functionality of Severe Alerts
is the same as that described above for Alerts. Unlike Alerts, the Severe Alerts section is hidden if there are
no Severe Alerts.
You can support statistics for any combination of the following device types:
 Autonomous APs
 Controllers
 Routers/Switches
Thin APs

 Others
Refer to "Configuring Your Own User Information with the Home > User Info Page" on page 214.
In the Search field, you can perform partial string searches on a large number of fields including the notes,
version, secondary version, radio serial number, device serial number, LAN MAC, radio MAC and apparent IP
of all the APs as well as the client MAC, VPN user, LAN IP, VPN IP fields.
Entering a search string displays search in two phases:
 "Fast" search results - display quickly and divide the results into Clients, APs, Controllers, and Switches,
and shows only basic columns relevant to each search category
"Full" search results - accessed by selecting the "Click here to perform a Full Search to expand the

results" link at the top of the Fast search results. This action sends the earlier search term to a much
deeper search of AMP, expanding the results to include all types of devices, clients (connected and
historical), folders, groups, tags, rogue devices, VPN sessions (connected and historical), and rogue
clients. You can customize search categories displayed in the Full search in Home > User Info.
