The user interface for the NAM Traffic Analyzer has six tabs in the upper third of every window. You will find
all the options you need to configure the NAM monitoring and to view reports based on collected data under
these six tabs. The figure outlines the configuration or viewing options available under each tab. It is useful to
remember that the data that can be viewed under the Monitor tab is the result of the configuration options you
selected and executed under the Setup tab. In other words, if you do not see the data or reports you want
under the Monitor tab, return to the Setup tab to verify that you configured the NAM correctly.
Similarly, alarms generated by the NAM can be viewed under the Alarms tab. Remember, however, that the
alarms you view under the Alarms tab are generated based on the configuration options you selected under
the Setup tab. You do have a few options for configuring how the data is presented to you within the Monitor
and Alarms tabs, but keep in mind that these options enable you to manipulate only the data that has already
been configured for collection under the Setup tab. So, if you do not see the data you expect to see, or if you
just want to validate the data you do see, review the configuration options you made under the Setup tab.
