Important Sections of the HiveManager GUI
Some convenient aspects that the HiveManager GUI offers are the ability to detach windows, clone configurations,
sort displayed information, and apply configurations to multiple HiveAPs at once. A brief overview of this
functionality is presented in the following sections.
Main Window:
This is the primary
window in which you set and view
various parameters. You can detach
this window to reposition and resize it.
Alarm Summary View:
The HiveManager
displays any alarms detected on managed
HiveAPs here. You can choose one of
three different display options: a table, a
bar chart, or a pie chart.
Menu Tree:
The menu tree provides a
simple method for navigating through the
HiveManager GUI. Items you select in the
menu tree appear in the main window.
Shortcut Toolbar:
The buttons displayed in
this toolbar are for commonly performed
actions. They change as needed to match the
items selected in the menu tree.
