My Network
Locate the My Network menu in the upper, left-hand side of the WMS display to review the sites
currently available to WMS. Each site can be expanded to review the controllers, access points and
associated radios comprising the site. A menu bar displaying horizontally provides a mechanism to
review site summaries, locate MUs, provide alerts and event monitoring, generate reports, define device
configurations and upgrade/downgrade firmware on supported devices.
Refer to the My Network menu bar to perform operations supporting:
● Summary on page 12
● Network Views on page 13
● RF Views on page 13
● Faults on page 13
● Reports on page 13
● Configuration on page 14
● Firmware on page 14
● Diagnostic Support on page 20
Move your cursor over a device to display a pop-up window of device attributes. Highlight devices as
needed within specific sites to review the device’s IP address, MAC address and model type. Of
particular interest within this pop-up is whether the device was planned for deployment within the
WMS managed network and whether the device was discovered by WMS.
Summary
WMS has a dedicated Summary screen for reviewing network address information for devices detected
within a selected site. Use this information to review the status of detected devices and its physical
location.
The Summary screen is an optimal place to review whether devices are in compliance. Compliance
checks ensure devices are operating with desired (supported) configurations. Compliance is achieved by
detecting configuration changes and alerting WMS about changes from the last saved configuration.
Lastly, the Summary screen displays a ratio of devices found within a site versus the number deployed
within the site using WMS as well as a ratio of the different device models detected out of the total
devices within a site.
