Table 106 Discovery Trigger Types and Condition Settings
Discovery Trigger Option Description
New Devices Discovered This trigger type flags the discovery of a new AP, router or switch connected to the network (an
device that AWMS can monitor and configure). Once you choose this trigger type, select Add
New Trigger Condition to specify a device type.
Table 107 Users Trigger Types and Condition Settings
User Trigger Option Description
New User This trigger type indicates when a new user has associated to a device within a defined set of groups or
folders. Note that the New User trigger type does not require the configuration of any condition settings,
so the Condition section disappears.
Connected Users This trigger type indicates when a device (based on an input list of MAC addresses) has associated to the
wireless network. It is required to define one or more MAC addresses with the field that appears.
User Bandwidth This trigger type indicates that the sustained rate of bandwidth used by an individual user has exceeded a
predefined threshold for more than a specified period, in seconds (such as more than 1500kbps for more
than 120 seconds).
Once you choose this trigger type, select Add New Trigger Condition to specify the bandwidth
characteristics that triggers an alert. You can apply multiple conditions to this type of trigger.
The Value field requires that you input a numerical figure for kilobits per second (kbps).
Inactive Tag This tags flags events in which an RFID tag has not been reported back to AWMS by a controller for more
than a certain number of hours. This trigger can be used to help identify inventory that might be lost or
stolen. Set the time duration for this trigger type if not already completed.
