A system and method for monitoring an attribute of a received signal in a wireless network having plural radios wherein one of the radios includes a monitoring module operatively connected to a second network. An attribute of one radio is monitored substantially continuously at the monitoring module
A system and method for monitoring an attribute of a received signal in a wireless network having plural radios wherein one of the radios includes a monitoring module operatively connected to a second network. An attribute of one radio is monitored substantially continuously at the monitoring module. A display device is operatively connected to the second network. A value representative of the current state of the attribute is transmitted via the second network to the display device upon a change in the state of the attribute from a previous state of the attribute, and the value is displayed on the display device.

1. A method, comprising: receiving a signal by one radio of a plurality of radios in a first wireless network, the received signal compatible with data transfer protocols of the first wireless network;monitoring, with a monitoring module operatively connected to the one radio of the plurality of rad
1. A method, comprising: receiving a signal by one radio of a plurality of radios in a first wireless network, the received signal compatible with data transfer protocols of the first wireless network;monitoring, with a monitoring module operatively connected to the one radio of the plurality of radios, a property of the received signal, the monitoring module communicatively coupled, using a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) connection, to a second network, the second network operating independently of the data transfer protocols of the first wireless network;receiving instructions from a remote communication module over the second network by the monitoring module, the instructions being configured for controlling communications with the monitoring module;transmitting, by the monitoring module, through the second network, and not through the first wireless network, a value representative of a current state of the property of the received signal when the property of the received signal changes to the current state from a previous state. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the second network is a network supporting hypertext transfer protocol. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the second network is a private network. 4. The method of claim 2, wherein the second network is the Internet. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the property of the received signal is a received signal level of the one radio. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the property of the received signal is selected from a group consisting of: signal to noise ratio, signal strength, carrier-to-noise ratio, bit error rate, transmitter power level, frequency range, wavelength range, and phase error. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising storing the value and displaying the stored value to facilitate viewing a history of a set of values comprising the value. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the storing occurs periodically. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising initiating an alarm if the value is outside a predetermined range. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the transmitting is performed even if the remote communication module and the monitoring module were not communicating when the change in the state of the property of the received signal occurred. 11. A system, comprising: a radio receiver operatively connected to one of a plurality of radios in a first wireless network, the radio receiver configured to receive a signal, the received signal compatible with data transfer protocols of the first wireless network; anda monitoring module operatively connected to the one of the plurality of radios, the monitoring module communicatively coupled, using a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) connection, to a second network, the second network operating independently of the data transfer protocols of the first wireless network, wherein the monitoring module monitors a property of the received signal of the one radio;the monitoring module configured to receive instructions from a remote communication module over the second network, the instructions being configured for controlling communications with the monitoring module;wherein the monitoring module is operative to transmit to a device through the second network, and not through the first wireless network, a value representative of a current state of the property of the received signal of the one radio;wherein the monitoring module is operative to transmit when the property of the received signal changes to the current state from a previous state. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein the second network is a network supporting hypertext transfer protocol. 13. The system of claim 12, wherein the second network is a private network. 14. The system of claim 12, wherein the second network is the Internet. 15. The system of claim 11, wherein the property of the received signal is a received signal level of the one radio. 16. The system of claim 11, wherein the property of the received signal is selected from a group consisting of: signal to noise ratio, signal strength, carrier-to-noise ratio, bit error rate, transmitter power level, frequency range, wavelength range, and phase error. 17. The system of claim 11, wherein the device comprises a memory capable of storing the value and the device is configured to display a first graph including the stored value. 18. The system of claim 17, wherein the device is configured to display a second graph showing the previous state and the current state of the property of the received signal. 19. The system of claim 18, wherein the value displayed in the first graph is stored periodically and the current state of the value displayed in the second graph is updated upon a change in the state of the property of the received signal to the current state from the previous state. 20. The system of claim 11, further comprising an alarm which is activated if the value is outside a predetermined range. 21. The system of claim 11, wherein a second radio of the plurality of radios includes a second monitoring module communicatively coupled to the second network and the second monitoring module monitors a property of a signal of the second radio. 22. The system of claim 21, wherein the device is configured to display the property of the received signal of the one radio and the property of the signal of the second radio. 23. The system of claim 11, wherein the monitoring module is configured to transmit upon a change in the state of the property of the received signal even if the remote communication module and the monitoring module were not communicating when the change in the state of the property of the received signal occurred.
