162 Managing and Monitoring Your Network

NN47250-101 (320665-G Version 02.01)

For detailed information about monitoring, refer to the “Monitoring the Network” chapter in the 

The RF analysis function analyzes RF statistics and the RF Visualize function uses 3D RF mapping to improve RF 
modeling and service location.

Any changes you make to your network in WMS are saved in the network plan on the server, but the changes are not 
applied to the network until they are deployed. You see the changes in WMS, but the changes are only in the network 
plan. To implement the changes in the live network, you must deploy them to the WSSs in the network. You can easily 
apply a configuration to multiple WSSs, or deploy changes to a single WSS.

WLAN Management Software allows you to deploy changes immediately or schedule deployment of the changes.

Select the Devices tool bar option.

At the bottom of the Task List panel, select Change Management. 

Select one or more WSSs. 

To select multiple switches, press Shift (for contiguous switches) or Control (for noncontiguous 
switches) while clicking.

In the Local Changes group in the Task List panel, click Deploy. The Deploy Configurations dialog box 
appears.

The dialog lists the switches that have configuration changes.

Select the switches to which you want to deploy the changes. 

To select more than one WSS, click Shift while clicking to select contiguous items, or click Ctrl while 
clicking to select noncontiguous items.

Click Deploy.

The deployment status for each affected WSS is shown in the History window at the bottom left of the 
dialog box. 

WLAN Management Software performs verification of the changes. If errors occur, they are listed in the 
Selected Errors at the bottom right of the dialog box. If there are errors, fix them and verify the changes 
before trying to deploy again. (You can use the Verification tab to fix the errors.)

If the deploy is successful, WMS also instructs the WSS to save the changes in its configuration file.

Click Close.

You can click Close at any time after clicking Deploy. The operation 

continues in the background. To review the status of the operation, use the 
operation log. (Select View Operation Log in the Task List panel.)
