Viewing Radio Statistics

Refer to the Radio Stats screen to view detailed information for the Mobility 7131 Access Point
radio (either 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n) displayed within the Radio Summary screen. There are
four fields within the screen. The Information field displays device address and location
information, as well as channel and power information. The Traffic field displays statistics for
cumulative packets, bytes, and errors received and transmitted. The Traffic field does not add retry
information to the stats displayed. Refer to the RF Status field for an average MU signal, noise and
signal to noise ratio information. Finally, the Errors field displays retry information as well as data
transmissions the Mobility 7131 Access Point radio either dropped or could not decrypt. The
information within the 802.11a/n Radio Statistics screen is view-only with no configurable data
fields.
