IW Monitor application is an on-premises monitoring tool for Industrial Wireless (IW) and Fluidmesh devices and it is designed to be used along with IoT Operations Dashboard (OD) with IW Service. The IW Service allows you to configure and provision the Industrial Wireless devices, whereas IW Monitor displays real-time data and alerts for URWB devices in the network. The functionality of the two interfaces differs as follows:

• IW Service is the cloud-based interface used to do online and offline configuration of IW devices.

• IW Monitor is a virtual-image-based diagnostic and analysis interface, with the virtual image installed in Docker format to monitor Fluidmesh and Industrial Wireless devices.

The functionalities of IW Monitor application are:

• Monitor the real time condition of networks.

• Generate statistics from network history.

• Verify if the device configuration settings are optimal for current network conditions.

• Detect network related events for diagnostic and generate alerts if network related faults arise.

• Analyze network data, with the goal of increasing system uptime and maintaining optimum network performance.

To configure the IW devices, you can use any of the following methods:

• To add and configure devices using cloud-based IW Service, see IoT OD IW documentation.

• To manually configure devices by using the device’s built-in Configurator interface or through CLI, see Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul for Catalyst IW Access Points, Software Configuration Guide or Cisco IEC6400 Edge Compute Appliance Installation and Configuration Guide.
