8-2 Using SPEEDView
What is SPEEDView?
SPEEDView
®
provides an “at-a-glance” view of all the nodes currently on the network.
Network managers can monitor and control management functions for local and
remote SPEEDLAN
®
9000 nodes from a central location, or from anywhere on the
network. SPEEDView operates on a Windows platform.
Check your operations quickly with a dynamic graphical user interface, and view the
performance of network links through an easy-to-read graphical format. SPEEDView
uses display lines to indicate direct line-of-sight connections, obstructed connections
(due to network bugs or improper mounting of the antenna) and non-existent physical
connections. These indicators, along with included diagnostic testing features, will help
network managers troubleshoot antenna alignment and locate blocked nodes, so that
paths can be re-routed for successful connectivity. In addition, you can double-click
any node to monitor and update its configuration through the SPEEDLAN 9000
Configurator.
