Visualizing the Wireless Network
The WLAN Visualization component is an optional feature that graphically shows information
about the wireless network. WLAN Visualization uses a Java applet to display D-Link Unified
Switches, D-Link Access Points, other access points, and associated wireless clients. The
WLAN Visualization tool can help you visualize where the APs are in relationship to the
building.
You can upload one or more custom images to create a background for the graph. Then, you
place the WLAN components discovered by the switch on the graph to help provide a realistic
representation of your wireless network. From each object on the WLAN Visualization graph,
you can access information about the object and links to configuration pages on the Web
interface.
This chapter contains the following sections to help you manage the WLAN Visualization
component of the D-Link Unified Access System:
• Importing and Configuring a Background Image
• Setting Up the Graph Components
• Understanding the Menu Bar Options
• Managing the Graph
