Active Control Mode

In active mode the sensor can drill down to an individual access point or station, and diagnose
connection and provisioning problems. Using the Remote User Interface function within the
Console program, the administrator can see a real time display of all scanning and analysis
functions performed by the sensor. He can zero in on channels, individual access points, or
individual stations. He can plot real time displays of all monitored information such as signal,
noise, traffic, and errors. He can also do packet decodes and statistical charting.

The Active Control mode can be administered from anywhere within the global enterprise
network.
