l Executive Portal allows executives to view high-level usage and performance data
l Aggregated alerts
l Failover
n Many-to-one failover
n One-to-one failover
The Master Console and Failover servers can be configured with a Device Down trigger that generates an alert if
communication is lost. In addition to generating an alert, the Master Console or Failover server can also send email or
NMS notifications about the event.
Integrating AirWave into the Network and Organizational Hierarchy
AirWave generally resides in the NOC and communicates with various components of your WLAN infrastructure. In
