INTRODUCTION TO THE HIVEMANAGER GUI
Using the HiveManager GUI, you can set up the configurations needed to deploy, manage, and monitor large
numbers of HiveAPs. The configuration workflow is described in "HiveManager Configuration Workflow" on page 85.
The GUI consists of several important sections, which are shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4 Important Sections of the HiveManager GUI
Some convenient aspects that the HiveManager GUI offers are the ability to clone configurations, apply
configurations to multiple HiveAPs at once, and sort displayed information. Brief overviews of these functions are
presented in the following sections.
Main Panel: The main panel contains
the windows in which you set and view
various parameters.
Notifications: HiveManager displays a
summary of new HiveAPs, rogue APs, rogue
clients, and alarms detected on managed
HiveAPs here. Clicking a displayed number
opens the relevant page with more details.
Menu Bar: The items in the menu bar open
the major sections of the GUI. You can then
use the navigation tree to navigate to more
specific topics within the selected section.
Navigation Tree: The navigation tree contains
all the topics within the GUI section that you
chose in the menu bar. Items you select in the
navigation tree appear in the main panel.
