3.11.3 View Menu
This menu allows you to navigate to the display options this management utility
has for showing supported radios and network information. Each view presents
radio and network information as well as related configuration options.
The Topology View displays a network diagram of supported devices detected by
the utility. The Master, Repeater, and Client relationships are presented visually
in a color coded and vertically aligned diagram with the Master radio(s) at the top
of the page. This view allows you to get a summary of the entire detected
network or select specific radios for further analysis.
The Radio List shows a table of detected radios in the network. This table allows
you to easily identify radios by role, MAC address and device name. If a
particular radio has parents or children in the network, they are identified by MAC
address, SSID and security for that wireless link. Double clicking on a radio in the
list will take you to the Detailed Radio view.
The current view (whether it be Topology, Radio List, or Detailed Radio) is
updated with new radio and network information as it arrives when Auto Refresh
is enabled. The scan menu contains the discovery protocol configuration
settings. As well, a manual refresh of the view is available by clicking on the
Refresh menu option or pressing F5.
The View Log option will display the Discovery Event logs collected by this utility
during discovery and configuration operations. Each log entry will have a
timestamp and type setting. The very bottom of the screen allows you to quickly
access or the most recent or earliest set of log messages, and also change the
number of log messages displayed on the screen at any given time.
