The Association field displays the following:
4. The Traffic Utilization field displays statistics on the traffic generated and received by the
selected client. This area displays the traffic index, which measures how efficiently the traffic
medium is utilized. It’s defined as the percentage of current throughput relative to the
maximum possible throughput.
Traffic indices are:
• 0 – 20 (Very low utilization)
• 20 – 40 (Low utilization)
• 40 – 60 (Moderate utilization)
• 60 and above (High utilization)
Username Displays the unique name of the administrator or operator managing the client’s connected Access
Point, controller or service platform.
Authentication Lists the authentication scheme applied to the client for interoperation with the Access Point.
Encryption Lists the encryption scheme applied to the client for interoperation with the Access Point.
Captive Portal
Authentication Displays whether captive portal authentication is enabled for the client as a guest access medium to the
controller or service platform managed network.
RF Quality Index Displays information on the RF quality for the selected wireless client. The RF quality index is the overall
effectiveness of the RF environment as a percentage of the connect rate in both directions, as well as
the retry and error rate. RF quality index can be interpreted as:
•
0 – 20 (Very poor quality)
•
20 – 40 (Poor quality)
•
40 – 60 (Average quality)
•
60 – 100 (Good quality)
Retry Rate Displays the average number of retries per packet. A high number indicates possible network or
hardware problems.
SNR Displays the signal to noise (SNR) ratio of the connected wireless client.
Signal Displays the power of the radio signals in - dBm.
Noise Displays the disturbing influences on the signal by interference of signals in - dBm.
Error Rate Displays the number of received bit rates altered due to noise, interference and distortion. It’s a unitless
performance measure.
AP Hostname Lists the administrator assigned device name of the client’s connected Access Point.
AP Displays the MAC address of the client’s connected Access Point.
Radio Lists the target Access Point that houses the radio. Select the Access Point to view performance
information in greater detail.
Radio ID Lists the hardware encoded MAC address the radio uses as a hardware identifier that further
distinguishes the radio from others within the same device.
Radio Number Displays the Access Point’s radio number (either 1, 2 or 3) to which the selected client is associated.
Radio Type Displays the radio type. The radio can be 802.11b, 802.11bg, 802.11bgn, 802.11a or 802.11an.
