Using the Health Dashboard Map

Use the Google Maps view just as you would normally use Google Maps - including zoom, satellite view, rotate and even street view icons. You can customize the AP icon information displayed on the map using the tools in the upper-right hand corner.

Use the AP Status pull-down menu to configure which AP health parameters will be displayed on the AP icons on the map. Use the Display menu to display the client count or radio channel in use.

Use the Settings (gear) icon to configure the information displayed in tooltips when hovering over an AP on the map. You can also change the view mode altogether, from map view to Groups, Control Planes or Data Planes view mode using the settings menu. Additionally, you can also select the check-box to show mesh links. These links appear as dotted lines. If you hover over the mesh link on the map, a pop-up appears displaying more information such as the following:

  • Uplink AP: displays the IP address of the uplink AP to which the wireless client sends data
  • Downlink AP: displays the IP address of the downlink AP from which data is sent back to the wireless client
  • SNR (Uplink): displays the signal-to-noise ratio in the uplink path
  • SNR (Downlink): displays the signal-to-noise ratio in the downlink path
  • Bytes (Uplink): displays the bytes of data transferred from the client to the uplink AP
  • Bytes (Downlink): displays the bytes of data transferred from the downlink AP to the client
  • Connected Since: displays the date and time when the mesh connection was established

Bytes (Uplink) and Bytes (Downlink) are aggregate counters for the mesh connection since the start of that mesh connection. If the mesh link is broken and restarts, the counter restarts. If the mesh AP connects to a different mesh root or uplink, the counter restarts.

You can view and identify APs with the same GPS. If you hover over and click the clustered marker of AP on the map, a pop-up appears displaying more information such as the following:

  • AP MAC: Displays the MAC address of the AP
  • AP Name: Displays the name assigned to the access point
  • Status: Displays the status of the AP such as Online or Offline

You can also select the Google Map API key to use the Maps service with the application.
