Figure 5-15. Global Statistics (Bar Chart View)
The Global Statistics > Topology Surfing Tab
Monitoring Your Network
The Topology Surfing tab in the Global Statistics view (Wireless LAN
adapters only) presents a quick snapshot of network activity on all
wireless network topology/channel combinations selected for monitoring
in Tools > Wireless > Surf Setting. Up to 30 channels are listed in
the display with the same sets of statistics, enabling you to see at a
glance what is happening on each channel.
IMPORTANT: When you use the Topology Surfing tab, be sure to select
the wireless network topology/channel combinations that interest you in
the Tools > Wireless > Surfing dialog box. This dialog box specifies
the topology/channel combinations Sniffer Portable Professional will cycle
between for specified durations. Topology Surfing statistics will only be
available for the channels you select here. See Configuring Surf Settings
on page 54 for details.
