3WXM provides many monitoring options. The section “Management 
and Monitoring” on page 44 provides an overview of all the monitoring 
tools available to you. 

This section describes how you can use some of the monitoring tools to 
determine problems that are typically reported to a network operator.

The monitoring examples described in this section are based on the 
following scenarios: 

„

An individual user calls the help desk with the complaint that the 
network is very slow or inaccessible

„

A group of users complain about network performance

„

You want to monitor and eliminate a rogue AP

If an individual user notifies you with the complaint that the network is 
very slow or inaccessible, use the following steps to identify the problem:

1 Find the user. Place the user on a watch list.

2 Locate the user. (If you can locate them, then the scope of the problem 

can be narrowed down to performance.)

3 View the user’s network activity.

4 View statistics over a period of time. Placing the user on the watch list 

allows 3WXM to gather long-term statistics.
