Dell PowerConnect W AirWave 7.2 | User Guide Performing Daily Administration in AWMS | 211
There are several initial steps that you can take to troubleshoot AWMS performance problems, including slow
page loads and timeout errors. Initial troubleshooting steps would include the following:
 Increasing the polling period settings on the Groups > Basic page.
 Increasing the polling period time for groups with routers and switches.
 Adding additional memory to the server. Please consult the sizing information in the latest edition of the Dell
PowerConnect W AirWave Sizing Guide from support.dell.com/manuals or contact Dell support for the latest
recommendations.
Supporting AWMS Servers with the Master Console
The Master Console (MC) is used to monitor multiple AWMS stations from one central location. The Master
Console is designed for customers running multiple AWMS servers. Once an AWMS station has been added to
the MC, it will be polled for basic AWMS information.
Much like the normal Home > Overview page, the Master Console Home > Overview page provides summary
statistics for the entire network at a glance. Figure 151 illustrates the Overview page:
