W-AirWave is a solution for managing rapidly changing wireless networks. When enabled, W-AirWave allows you
to manage the Instant network. For more information on W-AirWave, see Managing a W-IAP from W-AirWave
on page 296. The W-AirWave status is displayed at the bottom of the Instant main window. If the W-AirWave
status is Not Set Up, click the Set Up Now link to configure W-AirWave. The System> Admin window is
displayed.
Pause/Resume
The Pause/Resume link is located at the bottom right corner of the Instant main window.
Click the Pause link to pause the automatic refreshing of the Instant U after every 15 seconds by default. The
Instant UI is automatically refreshed after every 15 seconds by default. When the automatic refreshing is
paused, the Pause link changes to Resume. Click the Resume link to resume automatic refreshing.
Automatic refreshing allows you to get the latest information about the network and network elements. You
can use the Pause link when you want to analyze or monitor the network or a network element, and therefore
do not want the user interface to refresh.
