Using the Avalanche Map

The map provides a geographical overview of the health of your network. Use the following methods to navigate the map:

• Use the navigation arrows to display different portions of the map.
• Center the map on its default location by using the center button of the navigation arrows.
• Use the magnifying glass icons to zoom in and out.
• Apply filters so that only specific wireless components appear within the map. These filters are activated by the check boxes located next to the navigation arrows. You can apply the following filters:

Combined Device Servers

Displays server locations that contain both a Mobile Device Server and an Infrastructure Server.

Mobile Device Servers

Displays server locations that contain only a Mobile Device Server.

Infrastructure Servers

Displays server locations that contain only an Infrastructure Server.

View Map By Region

Displays only those server locations that belong to the area selected in the Navigation Window.

Mobile Devices

Displays the mobile devices associated with the region selected.

Mobile Device GPS History

Displays mobile devices by the GPS history.
• Color-code map components. This helps identify components and provide notifications of network health. The color codes for the components that appear in the map are as follows:

Purple

Indicates a server location with both a Mobile Device Server and an Infrastructure Server.

Blue

Indicates a server location with only a Mobile Device Server.

Dark Green

Indicates a server location with only an Infrastructure Server.

Yellow

Indicates a server location with one or more warning-level alerts (but no critical alerts).

Red

Indicates a server location with one or more critical alerts.

When a server location generates a warning or critical alert, the icon in the Map flashes yellow or red, based on the highest severity level in its alert list. The flashing stops when you acknowledge the alert in the Alert Browser. The icon returns to its base color when all warnings and critical alerts for the server location have been cleared from the Alert Browser.

You can also save specific map views to simplify navigation.

To save a map view:

1   Position the map using the navigation arrows and zooming in on the relevant geographic area.
2   Click Save View.
3   Type the name of the view in the Save Current View dialog box.
4   Click OK.

The view can be accessed by selecting it from the Go to View drop-down list. The view will only be available to users on the local machine.
