Just turn off the notification on the Controller and Prime.  Change your
phone number to the “infinite hold” number too.  ;)

Well heck, if you could share the web page you use to turn the problems
off, I'd appreciate it even more! :)

We choose not to have wireless problems, which greatly simplifies life at
the helpdesk.

Any possibility of sharing that web page?  This sounds like it could be
extremely useful!

One of our clever engineers went a step further and wrote a little web
page that gathers much of this information automatically and creates a
helpdesk ticket.

The user who is having problems, assuming he can get connected at all,
can browse to the debug web page.  The script then reaches out to the
XML API in Airwave Management Platform and gathers information such as
which AP they are associated to, which neighbors that AP can see (rogue
and managed, etc).  We do not gather driver version of the client or
anything like that, just concentrating on the infrastructure pieces.

This way we at least get a helpdesk ticket with the users correct IP
address, mac address, etc. from which to start an investigation.
