4. Refer to the RF Status field to view the following MU signal, noise and performance information

for the WLAN selected from the Mobility 7131 Access Point menu tree.

5. Refer to the Errors field to view MU association error statistics for the WLAN selected from the

Mobility 7131 Access Point menu tree.

Pkts per second

The

Total

column displays the average total packets per second crossing the selected

WLAN. The

column displays the average total packets per second received on the

selected WLAN. The

column displays the average total packets per second sent on the

selected WLAN. The number in black represents this statistic for the last 30 seconds and
the number in blue represents this statistic for the last hour.

Throughput

The

Total

column displays average throughput in Mbps for a given time period on the

selected WLAN. The

column displays average throughput in Mbps for packets received

on the selected WLAN. The

column displays average throughput for packets sent on the

selected WLAN. The number in black represents statistics for the last 30 seconds and the
number in blue represents statistics for the last hour. Use this information to assess
whether the current Mobility 7131 Access Point data rate is sufficient to support required
network traffic.

Avg. Bit Speed

The

Total

column displays the average bit speed in Mbps for a given time period on the

selected WLAN.This includes all packets that are sent and received. The number in black
represents statistics for the last 30 seconds and the number in blue represents statistics
for the last hour. If the bit speed is significantly slower than the selected data rate, refer to
the

RF Statistics

and

Errors

fields to troubleshoot.

% Non-unicast pkts

Displays the percentage of the total packets that are non-unicast. Non-unicast packets
include broadcast and multicast packets.The number in black represents packets for the
last 30 seconds and the number in blue represents packets for the last hour.

Avg MU Signal

Displays the average RF signal strength in dBm for all MUs associated with the selected
WLAN. The number in black represents this statistic for the last 30 seconds and the
number in blue represents this statistic for the last hour. If the signal is low, consider
mapping the MU to a different WLAN if a better functional grouping of MUs can be
determined.

Avg MU Noise

Displays the average RF noise for all MUs associated with the selected WLAN. The number
in black represents MU noise for the last 30 seconds and the number in blue represents
MU noise for the last hour. If MU noise is excessive, consider moving the MU closer to the
Mobility 7131 Access Point, or in area with less conflicting network traffic.

Avg MU SNR

Displays the average Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) for all MUs associated with the selected
WLAN. The Signal to Noise Ratio is an indication of overall RF performance on your wireless
networks.

Avg Num of Retries

Displays the average number of retries for all MUs associated with the selected WLAN. The
number in black represents average retries for the last 30 seconds and the number in blue
represents average retries for the last hour.

Dropped Packets

Displays the percentage of packets which the AP gave up on for all MUs associated with the
selected WLAN. The number in black represents this statistic for the last 30 seconds and
the number in blue represents this statistic for the last hour.

% of Undecryptable
Pkts

Displays the percentage of undecryptable packets for all MUs associated with the selected
WLAN. The number in black represents undecryptable pkts for the last 30 seconds and the
number in blue represents undecryptable pkts for the last hour.
