Find Device Screen UI Components
AirMagnet Spectrum XT comes with a robust Find Device tool that enables you to find any
device (WiFi or non-WiFi) detected in your network. You can access this tool either by clicking
(Find Device) in the lower left past of the screen or by double-clicking a device in the
Device List on the Spectrum-WiFi Summary screen. The former enables you to switch to the
Find Device screen where you can select the device of interest and then try to use the Find
Device tool to find it, whereas the latter directly opens the Find Device screen with the device
of interest automatically selected so that all you need to do is to click the Find button to look
for it.
Figure 8-1 shows the Find Device screen.
