# Use AltoCommand to refine network performance

### Even when overall network performance is good, best practice is to periodically review performance and make adjustments for improvement. Generally this means reviewing link performance for the following parameters, within a longer time period.

- Low average MCS
- Low RSSI issues
- High TX power
- High Packet error Rates
- Link flapping

To review these performance metrics:

1. Open the AltoCommand WebUI:
   
   In your browser's address bar, type:
   
   **https://*hostname***
   
   where *hostname* is the fully qualified domain name of the AltoCommand server.
2. Log into the WebUI as a user with either user or admin privileges.

   The AltoCommand WebUI opens to the **Dashboard**.
3. Select the **Incidents** tab.
4. Set the time period to **One Week** or **Thirty Days**.

5. Enable **Show only DNs**.

6. Identify areas of concern where Incidents, such as low MCS or low RSSI, recur for the same device or link. For example, in this view of Low MCS incidents, we can see that the DN to DN link between DN1 and DN2 has recurring issues.

7. Click **Map** in the menu bar to use the Map to determine whether there are environmental factors that could be causing the issue. For example, check for: 
     - Topology issues.
     - Fresnel zone interference.
     - Co-channel interference.
     - Radios that are off boresight.
