Reviewing the ZoneDirector Monitoring
Options
The following highlights key ZoneDirector tab options and what you can do with
them.
• Dashboard: Every time you log into ZoneDirector via the web interface, this
collection of status indicators appears. Use it as your regular network-monitoring
starting point. Data are blue-colored links that you can use to further drill down
to focus on particular activities or devices.
• Real Time Monitoring: To view network traffic, resource utilization and usage
statistics in real time, use the Real Time Monitoring tool accessible via the Toolbox
at the top of any page of the web interface (see Real Time Monitoring).
• Monitor > Map View provides a fast scan of key network factors: APs (legitimate,
neighboring and rogue), client devices, and RF coverage. You can see what
devices are where in your floorplan, and visually evaluate network coverage.
NOTE: Map View to work, your computer must have Java version 7 installed. If it
is not installed, ZoneDirector will notify you that you need to download it. The latest
version can be downloaded from www.java.com.
• Other Monitor tab options incorporated in the left column's buttons provide
numeric data on WLAN performance and individual device activity. As with the
Dashboard, some data entries are links that take you to more detailed informa-
tion. And, finally, the All Events/Activities log displays the most recent actions by
users, devices and network, in chronological order.
• Configure: Use the options in this tab to assess the current state of WLAN users,
any restricted WLANs, along with the settings for guest access, user roles, etc.
You can also combine this tab's options with those in the Administer tab to
perform system diagnostics and other preventive tasks.
