6. FDAP Monitoring

6.1 Overview

The status and performance of FDAPs operating in a wireless network can be monitored

in a number of ways.

 The Monitoring tab in the WDM UI enables you to monitor FDAPs that are

commissioned in the network.

 The Reports tab in the WDM UI enables you to view and generate custom reports

about connectivity, configuration, alarms, notes, and device health of the FDAPs in a

network.

6.2 Verify connectivity using maps

Network services engineer verifies the mesh connectivity and FDAP connectivity in the

WDM UI. You can visually inspect network topology map and connectivity. You can

navigate to the device in the topology map and check the link signal quality and

connectivity. In addition, you can examine device communication statistics information

like Receive Signal Quality Index (RSQI) and Receive Signal Strength Index (RSSI).

6.3 Monitoring using alarms

You can monitor active alarms generated by FDAPs. The Active Alarms tab lists the

device type, priority, location, source, and time when the alarm was generated. You can

also export the alarm log created for a time period.

For information about the procedure to monitor device using alarms, refer to
