Management and Monitoring
45
You can display a topology view of your network, including the state and 
relationship of devices. You can right-mouse click on a device in the 
topology to display the status of that device. The display can include the 
wired network, third-party APs, and rogue access points (access points 
that are not authorized to operate in your network).
You also can set thresholds for events. If the threshold is crossed, the 
affected device is flagged, and a star is placed beside the parameter that 
triggered the threshold.

Statistics collected for the RF environment provides data on a per-channel 
basis. You can view noise levels, cyclic redundancy check (CRC) and PHY 
errors, packet retransmissions and percent utilization.
Data collected for the RF neighborhood displays the neighboring radios. 
This information can be viewed as a list of radios heard by a particular 
radio, as well as a list of radios who can hear a particular radio.
