Wireless Global Settings Dialog

The Global Settings dialog allows you enable or disable Wireless as well as configure settings specific to Wireless without modifying global settings applicable to WhatsUp Gold.

To configure Wireless settings:

1. Click the Global Wireless enabled check box to enable/disable wireless device data collection.
2. In the Polling interval data entry box, enter the desired interval, in minutes, for polling wireless infrastructure devices. The default is 5 minutes.

   Caution: Setting the Wireless polling interval to less than 5 minutes has a direct impact on the quantity of data collected. Because more data is collected, a polling interval less than 5 minutes could affect performance.

3. In the SNMP timeout data entry box, enter the desired time, in seconds, for the poller to wait for an SNMP response from a wireless infrastructure device. The default is 2 seconds.
4. In the SNMP retries data entry box, enter the desired number of times to retry polling wireless infrastructure devices for SNMP data. The default is 1.
5. In the Log Expiration data entry box, enter the desired interval for log information to be retained in Wireless. The default is 365 days.
6. In the Session timeout data entry box, enter the desired time of inactivity to be reached by a client before statistics for that client are associated with a new session. The default is 10 minutes.
7. Click Save.

Note: Increasing the Wireless polling interval does not change wireless threshold configurations in WhatsUp Gold. WhatsUp Gold will return identical results for applicable wireless infrastructure devices until the next global polling interval.
