7. Specify whether the trigger should display by role or by triggering agent.

l By Role: When you create a trigger definition, the triggers are visible to only those users who have the same

role as you (ie AMP Administrator).

l By Triggering Agent: When the trigger is run, this option distributes the alert according to how it was

generated.

8. Specify whether to suppress this alert until it has been acknowledged. If you select No, a new alert will be created

every time the trigger criteria are met. If you select Yes, an alert will only be received the first time the criteria is

met. A new alert for the device is not created until the initial one is acknowledged.

9. Select Add when you are finished configuring the trigger.

Which alerts are most important to me?

The more triggers that you configure in AirWave, the more alerts that you receive. These alerts display on the

System > Alerts page and remain there until they are acknowledged.

As part of the initial AirWave setup, the following alerts will likely be of most importance to you:

l Device Client Count

l Device Down

l Radio Noise Floor

l Rogue Detection

Which reports should I utilize?

Reports are a powerful tool in network analysis, user configuration, device optimization, and network monitoring.

AirWave reports include the following functionality:

AirWave runs daily versions of reports during predefined windows of time. All reports can be scheduled to run in the

background.

l You can restrict reports to show information for specific groups and/or folders.

l The daily version of any report is available instantly in the Reports > Generated page.

l The Inventory, Dell PowerConnect W License, Client Inventory, Rogue Containment, and Configuration Audit

reports do not span a period of time. Instead, these reports provide a snapshot of the current state of the

network.

l Users can create all other reports over a custom time period on the Reports > Definitions page. All reports can

be emailed in PDFor CSV format. They can also be exported to XML, CSV, or PDF format.

As part of the initial AirWave setup, the following reports might be useful to set up immediately:

l "RF Health Report" on page 17

l "Capacity Planning Report" on page 19

RF Health Report

The RF Health Report can assist in pinpointing the most problematic devices on your network and displays up to

the top ten devices based on problem type. This report tracks the top APradio issues by noise, MAC/Phy errors,

channel changes, and transmit power changes. If ARM events exist, then the RF Health Report will also track mode

changes and interfering devices.

Perform the following steps to create an RF Health Report.

1. Navigate to the Reports> Definitions page and click the Add New Report Definition button.
