Traffic Statistics
Refer to the Traffic Statistics screen to review Access Point radio transmit and receive statistics,

that can be selected to launch a detailed screen containing radio throughout data.
Signal
Displays the radio’s current power level in - dBm.
SNR
Displays the signal to noise ratio of the radio’s associated wireless clients.
Tx Physical Layer Rate
Displays the data transmit rate for the radio’s physical layer. The rate is displayed in Mbps.
Rx Physical Layer Rate
Displays the data receive rate for the radio’s physical layer. The rate is displayed in Mbps.
Avg Retry Number
Displays the average number of retries per packet. A high number indicates possible network or
hardware problems. Assess the error rate in respect to potentially high signal and SNR values to
determine whether the error rate coincides with a noisy signal.
Error Rate
Displays the total number of received packets which contained errors for the listed radio.
Traffic Index
Displays the traffic utilization index of the radio. This is expressed as an integer value. 0 – 20 indicates
very low utilization, and 60 and above indicate high utilization.
