Monitoring and Supporting AWMS with the Home Pages
The Home section of AWMS provides the most frequent starting point for monitoring network status and
establishing primary AWMS functions, once AWMS configuration is complete. Access the following pages in
the Home section of the AWMS graphical user interface (GUI):
 The Home > Overview and the Home > License pages condense a large amount of information about your
AWMS. From these two pages you can view the health and usage of your network as well as click common
links and shortcuts to view system information. Refer to “Monitoring AWMS with the Home > Overview Page”
on page 241.

searching by adding an ability to search for rogue devices by multiple criteria. Refer to “Searching AWMS
with the Home > Search Page” on page 246.
 The Home > Documentation page provides easy access to all relevant AWMS documentation. See
“Accessing AWMS Documentation with the Home
