Highcharts are built with JavaScript, so the graphs can run directly through your browser without the need for
additional client-side plugins. This makes it possible to view your W-AirWave charts on a mobile device.
These charts can be used and customized as follows.
l A Time Range selector in the upper right portion of the charts (including pop-up charts) allows you to select a
common or a custom date range for your data. The preconfigured ranges for W-AirWave charts are current 2
hours, 1 day, 1 week, and 1 year.
l Drop-down menus are available for viewing client and usage for specific SSIDs and/or all SSIDs. A search field
is available to help you quickly find a specific WLAN.
You can select up to six options from each drop-down menu. Once selected, each option will appear in the
color-coded legend below the chart. Clicking on an option in this legend will disable or enable that information
in the graph. Note that even if an option is disabled from viewing in the graph, that option will still remain in
the legend until you deselect it from the drop-down menu.
l Max and Avg options allow you to change the chart view to show the maximum or average client and usage
information.
l Plot points display within the chart at varying intervals, depending on the selected time range. Tooltips and a
plot line appear as you hover over each plot point, showing you the detailed information for that specific
time.
l Click on any chart to view a pop-up version. In this version, you can easily zoom in on a range of data by using
your mouse to drag a rectangle in the chart. While you are zoomed in, a Reset zoom button appears,
enabling you to return to the original view. The pop-up charts also include a legend that displays the Last,
Min, Max, and Avg values for the selected graph.
l Some charts include a drop-down option next to the graph title. For example, on the APs/Devices >
Monitor page for Radio Statistics, you can select the drop-down beside the graph title to view a graph for
Client, Usage, Radio Channel, Radio Noise, Radio Power, Radio Errors, and 802.11 Counters information. In
prior versions of W-AirWave, these graphs appeared as separate tabs.
