The LANCOM WLANmonitor lets you organize all of the available access points in a manner that is independent of their physical location. This helps to maintain an overview of the network and is particularly useful when localizing problems. Further, WLAN information can be called up according to the groups. You can group your access points according to their departments, locations or applications (e.g. public hotspot), for example.
The groups are shown in the left column in WLANmonitor. Starting from the top group 'WLANmonitor', you can use the menu item File / Add group to create new sub-groups and so build up a structure. Access points found during a search are assigned to the currently selected group in the group tree. Access points that have been recognized already can be moved to the another group with drag and drop.
To aid the allocation of access points and clients, you can mark a device with the mouse. The counterpart(s) will then be marked in the list as well:
- If an access point is marked in the access point list, all of the clients logged in to this device will also be marked in the client list.
- If a client is marked in the client list, the access point that it is registered with will be marked in the access point list.
