Introduction

This section introduces the SPECTRUM Device Management documentation for the Cisco Aironet Wireless Access Point.

This introduction contains the following topics:

• Purpose and Scope

• Required Reading

• Supported Devices (Page 5)

• The SPECTRUM Model (Page 5)

Purpose and ScopeUse this document as a guide for managing the Cisco Aironet devices described on Page 5 with SPECTRUM management module SM-CIS1016. This document describes the icons, menus, and views that enable you to remotely monitor, configure, and troubleshoot Cisco Aironet devices through software models in your SPECTRUM database.

Information specific to SM-CIS1016 is what is primarily included in this document. For general information about device management using SPECTRUM and explanations of SPECTRUM

functionality and navigation techniques, refer to the topics listed under Required Reading.

Required ReadingTo use this documentation effectively, you must be familiar with the information covered by the other SPECTRUM online documents listed below.

• Getting Started with SPECTRUM for Operators

• Getting Started with SPECTRUM for Administrators

• How to Manage Your Network with SPECTRUM

• SPECTRUM Views

• SPECTRUM Menus

• SPECTRUM Icons

• SPECTRUM Software Release Notice

• Cisco Applications

I n t r o d u c t i o n S u p p o r t e d D e v i c e s


Supported DevicesSPECTRUM management module SM-CIS1016 currently lets you model the following devices:

• Cisco Aironet 340 Series Access Point• Cisco Aironet 350 Series Access Point • Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point

- 1200- 1220- 1210/1230 (IOS-based firmware)

• Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Point (IOS-based firmware)

• Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Access Point (IOS-based firmware)

Cisco Aironet products can be integrated into wired Ethernet networks, and they provide protection through full compliance with the IEEE 802.11b wireless standard.

The Cisco Aironet 1200 supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios simultaneously, preserving existing IEEE 802.11b investments and providing a migration path to future IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11g technologies.

The SPECTRUM ModelThe model types for the Cisco Aironet devices are Aironet and AironetIOS. The AironetIOS model type is used for those devices that have IOS-based firmware. Devices with non-IOS-based firmware use the Aironet model type.

Modeling results in the creation of Device icons that represent the devices and Application icons that represent their supported applications.

The Device icons contain double-click zones and provide access to Icon Subviews menus that let you perform device management activities such as those listed in Tasks on Page 7.

As Figure 1 shows, the appearance of the Device icons varies slightly depending on the kind of view it appears in.

Performance Views

This section introduces the Performance view. For details concerning this view, refer to the SPECTRUM Views documentation.

Performance views display performance statistics in terms of a set of transmission attributes, e.g., cell rates, frame rates, % error, etc. A typical view is shown in Figure 6. The instantaneous condition of each transmission attribute is recorded in a graph. The statistical information for each attribute is presented in the adjacent table.

Generally, you determine performance at the device level through Performance views accessed from the Device and Application icons. You determine performance at the port/interface level through Performance views accessed from Interface icons.
