Jiantao Gu, Jun Jia Zheng, Shufen Zhang · Journal of Networks · 2012
Abstract—This paper aims at providing a graphical user interface for WLAN monitoring and management system “WLAN Inspector”, which gives network operators the software and performance management tools necessary to monitor and manage network availability, achieve real-time monitoring (7 × 24 hours) and intelligent management, report on IP networks performance, and troubleshoot issues through a single Web-based graphical user interface. The overall framework design of graphical interface, brief description of each module, and the detailed design in the basic information interface are discussed in this paper. The WLAN monitoring and management system has multiple functions: real-time network monitoring, real-time protocol analysis, information, statistics, safety testing and network performance monitoring, etc. This system can give Video Frame Capture for Mac, analyze the WLAN traffic characteristics, detect possible security vulnerabilities, and give the appropriate solution. Index Terms—Graphical user interface, Wireless LAN, WLAN Inspector, real-time monitoring.
