Enable Remote Troubleshooting and Active Tools 
Using the Remote UI built into the AirMagnet Management Console, Users can leverage a 
growing collection of active troubleshooting tools to pinpoint problems in the network. These 
tools allow the User to remotely test throughput on a particular AP, diagnose connection 
problems, and perform Layer 3dDebugging and end-to-end provisioning.  Administrators can 
view low level data on every channel and device in the area, alarms, real-time local statistics, and 
even packet decodes.  Such remote capability greatly reduces the need to dispatch resources 
when troubleshooting the WLAN. 
 
Low Overhead On Operational Network  
Most remote monitoring systems simply capture wireless packets and resend them to a remote 
site for processing, needlessly consuming valuable bandwidth. AirMagnet Sensors, conversely 
process locally, sending real-time alarms only when thresholds are reached. Trending data is 
saved on the sensor, and securely sent at regular intervals to the Management Server, minimizing 
operational load on the network and servers.
