3. The Environment displays the following fields:
• Settings
• Temperature Sensors
•Fans
4. In the Settings field, select the Enable Diagnostics checkbox to enable/disable diagnostics and
set the monitoring interval. The monitoring interval is the interval the switch uses to update the
information displayed within the CPU, Memory, Disk, Processes and Other Resources tabs.
Keep the monitoring interval at a shorter time increment when periods of heavy wireless traffic are
anticipated.
5. Use the Temperature Sensors field to monitor the CPU and system temperatures. This information
is extremely useful in assessing if the switch exceeds its critical limits. Unlike a WS5100 Series
Switch, an RF7000 Series Switch has six sensors.
6. Refer to the Fans field to monitor the CPU and system fan speeds. Unlike the WS5100 Series Switch,
an RF7000 Series Switch has three fans.
7. Click on the Apply button to commit and apply the changes.

8.1.2 CPU Performance
Use the CPU tab to view and define the CPU’s load statistics. Load limits can be assessed for the last one
minute, five minutes and 15 minutes to better gauge switch loads over differing periods of network activity.
1. Select Diagnostics from the main tree menu.
NOTE Enabling switch diagnostics is recommended, as the diagnostics facilities provide
detailed information on the physical performance of the switch and may provide
indicators in advance of actual problems. Enabling diagnostics also assists in
troubleshooting problems associated with data transfers and monitoring network
traffic.
