Setting Thresholds for the Dashboard Statistics
You can set alarm thresholds for each of the dials on the Dashboard (as well
as many other network statistics). When a threshold is exceeded, an entry is
made in the Alarm log. You can monitor the Alarm log to keep watch over your
network.
To set a threshold value, click the Set Thresholds button at the top of the
Dashboard (Figure 10-4). Alternatively, you can select Options from the
Tools menu and click the Mac Threshold tab.
You will see a complete list of network parameters that can trigger a threshold
alarm. The exact parameters depend on the currently selected adapter. Figure
10-5 shows the network parameters for a Wireless LAN adapter.
