Managing Devices in Wireless

Wireless allows you to monitor a number of aspects of each wireless device discovered on your network in a variety of ways. Wireless devices and their associated network connections can be viewed as a graphical representation on the Map page. Viewing the Performance page, you can monitor Bandwidth, CPU utilization, memory utilization, RSSI data, and Signal to Noise ratio data for wireless devices on the network in either tabular or graphical representations across a user-defined date range. The Clients page displays a list of known wireless clients connected to your network. The Rogues page displays a list of all unknown wireless devices seen by the wireless infrastructure for the purpose of identifying rogues. The Rogues page can be also be configured to show devices polled during a user-defined date range as well as to sort devices by time, SSID, or MAC address and to exclude selected devices. Finally, the Log page displays a time line of informational events concerning the Wireless service.
