Chapter 7: Using SmartPath EMS

7.2.1 Viewing Reports

When viewing reports that contain graphs (Monitor > Reports ...), you can use your mouse to control what information
SmartPath EMS displays. Moving your mouse over a measurement point on any line in a graph displays the type of data being
reported and the date, time, and value of the measurement. In the graph for active client details (Monitor > Clients > Active
Clients > client_mac_addr) or a report defined as a "New Report Version", moving your mouse over a color box in the legend
hides all other lines except the one matching that color (see Figures 7-8 and 7-9).
Moving the mouse over a measurement point in a graph displays data about that measurement. If measurement points on multi-
ple lines happen to converge at the same point, SmartPath EMS displays data for all of them. Here you can see information about
the total number of transmitted (Tx) and received (Rx) frames and dropped frames.
In the graph showing details for a selected active client, moving the mouse over a colored box in the legend hides all other lines
except the one that is the same color as the box under the mouse. Here SmartPath EMS only shows the red line for transmitted
frames because the mouse is over the red box next to Rx Frames in the legend.

7.2.2 Searching

The SmartPath EMS GUI provides a search feature that you can use to find text strings throughout the SmartPath EMS database
and the entire GUI (except in Reports and Topology) or within one or more specified sections of the GUI. By default, SmartPath
EMS searches through the following sections of the GUI: Configuration, Access Points, Clients, Administration, and Tools. You can
also include Events and Alarms in your search, but not Topology. To restrict the scope of your search, click the down arrow to the
right of the search icon and select the areas of the GUI that you want to include and clear those that you want to exclude (see
Figure 7-10).
