You also can display trending information on a per-radio basis. Trending
collects radio statistics and charts them on a time basis. For example, you
could display average throughput rates for the previous 30 days, week, or
day. You can display and print the charts from 3WXM, as well as

Client Monitoring
Client monitoring provides current and historical information about the
clients using your network, including client activity, watch list clients,
current client sessions, and the ability to locate clients at your site. 3WXM
displays the data that WX switches collect on user sessions—either for a
single user, users associated with a MAP, users associated with a specific
radio, or users added to a watch list.

By viewing monitoring information for a user or a group of users, you can
troubleshoot problems originating from bandwidth constraints or
roaming patterns. You can collect statistics and view reports on:

Rogue Detection
A rogue AP is an access point that is not authorized to operate in or near
your network. You can use RF countermeasures to deny service to or
from a targeted rogue AP, and render them ineffective. Once a rogue AP
is detected and reported, the closest 3Com MAP is assigned to perform
RF countermeasures. By spoofing various 802.11 control messages, the
MAP’s countermeasures disrupt association and authentication attempts
to the rogue AP by any new clients. This also disrupts any active
communications between any existing client and rogue AP.
