5. Refer to the Traffic field to view individual MU RF throughput information.

6. Refer to the RF Status field to view MU signal and signal disturbance information.

IP Address

Displays the IP address of the MU.

WLAN Association

Displays the name of the WLAN the MU is associated with. Use this information to assess
whether the MU is properly grouped within that specific WLAN.

PSP State

Displays the current PSP state of the MU. The

PSP Mode

field has two potential settings.

PSP indicates the MU is operating in Power Save Protocol mode. In PSP, the MU runs
enough power to check for beacons and is otherwise inactive. CAM indicates the MU is
continuously aware of all radio traffic. Brocade Mobility recommends CAM for those MUs
transmitting with the AP frequently and for periods of time of two hours.

HW Address

Displays the Media Access Control (MAC) address for the MU.

Radio Association

Displays the name of the AP MU is currently associated with. If the name of the

Mobility

7131 Access Point

requires modification, see Configuring System Settings on page

4-67.

QoS Client Type

Displays the data type transmitted by the mobile unit. Possible types include

Legacy

Voice

WMM Baseline

and

Power Save

. For more information, see Setting the WLAN

Quality of Service (QoS) Policy on page 5-147.

Encryption

Displays the encryption scheme deployed by the associated MU.

Packets per second

The

Total

column displays average total packets per second crossing the MU. The

column displays the average total packets per second received on the MU. The

column

displays the average total packets per second sent on the MU. The number in black
represents Pkts per second for the last 30 seconds and the number in blue represents
Pkts per second for the last hour.

Throughput

The

Total

column displays the average total packets per second crossing the selected MU.

The

column displays the average total packets per second received on the MU. The

column displays the average total packets per second sent on the MU. The number in black
represents throughput for the last 30 seconds, the number in blue represents throughput
for the last hour.

Avg. Bit Speed

The

Total

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

MU. This includes all packets sent and received. The number in black represents average
bit speed for the last 30 seconds and the number in blue represents average bit speed for
the last hour. Consider increasing the data rate of the AP if the current bit speed does not
meet network requirements. For more information, see Configuring the 802.11a/n or
802.11b/g/n Radio on page 5-167. The associated MU must also be set to the higher rate
to interoperate with the

Mobility 7131 Access Point

at that data rate.

% of Non-unicast pkts Displays the percentage of the total packets for the selected mobile unit 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 RF signal strength in dBm for the target MU. The number in black represents
signal information for the last 30 seconds and the number in blue represents signal
information for the last hour.

Avg MU Noise

Displays RF noise for the target MU. The number in black represents noise for the last 30
seconds, the number in blue represents noise for the last hour.

Avg MU SNR

Displays the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) for the target MU. The Signal to Noise Ratio is an
indication of overall RF performance on your wireless network.
