The Dashboard, which is the first page that is displayed after you log in to
the RUCKUS Network Director Admin portal, provides a snapshot of your wireless networks, SZs
connected to the network and those configured in the RUCKUS Network Director, access
points (APs), and the wireless clients associated with the APs. The Dashboard provides a centralized monitoring window for all APs and SZ
clusters and displays their operational status and statistics.
The following table lists the infographic elements
of the Dashboard that describe the operations and
statistics of the entire network.
Note: The color-coded legends represent the operational status and statistics of clusters
and APs in the network. You can double-click the legend to isolate each trace.
