My Network Configuration
Extreme Networks Wireless Management Suite Reference Guide40
A WMS deployment is supported by sites comprised of controllers and access points whose network
address, status and compliance information can be listed within the WMS DeviceList.
A controller or access point device link can be selected within the DeviceList to launch a device specific
Dashboard to help determine whether the controller or access point ‘s current load on the network. For
more information, see “DeviceList” on page 49.
Dashboard
The following dashboards can be accessed from the summary screen to display Dashboard information
for all the sites supported by WMS collectively, an individual site or an individual device within a
specific site:
● AllSites Dashboard on page 40
● Site Specific Dashboard on page 43
● Device Specific Dashboards on page 45
● MU Clients on page 46
● WLANs on page 47
● Radios on page 48
● DeviceList on page 49
● Radios on page 51
The content of the all sites and site specific Dashboards are similar, the central difference being the all
sites Dashboard has a much larger pool of information to draw from when multiple sites and devices
are deployed. Both the all sites and site specific Dashboards display throughput data for the top five
radio and clients.
A device specific Dashboard displays and describes information far more granular and device specific
than either the all site of specific site dashboards. Device specific Dashboards define specific device
performance and network address information independent from the device’s site and floor
deployment. When a specific device is selected from the My Network main menu, additional MU
Clients, WLANs and Radios tabs could display (depending on the device used in the Dashboard) and are
available for listing the attributes of the clients connected to the device and to the attributes of the
WLANs available for device connection.
AllSites Dashboard
WMS can display a Dashboard with data polled from each site, floor and device supported in this
licensed version. An all sites Dashboard is a useful single point of reference for performance and event
information for an entire WMS managed deployment.
To display a Dashboard for all the sites currently supported by this version of WMS:
1 Select the My Network WMS main menu item.
2 Select the AllSites node.
3 Select Summary tab (if not already displayed).
4 Select the Dashboard tab.
