The Application Control window has three sections:

Selection Criteria
allow you to choose the type of data to show, and to
filter for a single VLAN or station.

Pie Charts present a color coded at-a-glance view of the top ten
applications being used by the network.

Traffic Tables beneath the pie charts list the applications in use along
with traffic statistics. Unique Productivity and Risk ratings let you easily
assess the nature of applications in use, so that you can take action using
Filter Management .
Selection Criteria
At the top of the window, the options in the gray ribbon allow you to customize
the display with the following choices:

Display for VLAN : Use the drop-down list if you wish to select just one
VLAN to analyze, or leave the default value of all to see data from all
VLANs.

Display for Station : Use the drop-down list if you wish to select just one
station to analyze (stations are listed by their MAC address), or leave the
default value of
all to see data from all stations. You may also use the
Stations window to select a station to display. See “Stations (Application
Control)” on page 152 .

Station Traffic : Check this box if you wish to analyze traffic from stations,
listing the applications that they are using.

Array Management Traffic : Check this box if you wish to analyze
management traffic on this Array, including the load due to functions
such as Xirrus Roaming. Tracking traffic into the array on the
management side can alert you to nefarious activity—and even to traffic
on the wired network that would best be blocked before it hits the Array.
You may display both station and Array management traffic, if you wish.

By Application : Check this box if you wish to analyze and list traffic by
what specific applications are in use, such as WebEx or BitTorrent.
