Collecting Client Information

Client information is collected from stations when sending frames to the Altitude 300. Based on the
frames the client exchanges with the Altitude 300, three types of information are collected. These types
are listed below:
• Current state: Current condition of the client. It is limited to clients that have sent this station an
authentication request.
• MAC layer: Information about the operation of the MAC transport layer as it affects this particular
client. This information can be used to detect problems with Altitude 300 placement, link utilization,
etc.
• Historical information: View of a station through time. State transitions are preserved through a
series of counters. This information can be used to debug various configuration problems.
Client Current State
Client current state information is available for all clients that have sent an authentication message to
the Altitude 300. Information in this table is timed out if no packets have been received from the client
by the configurable period of time set by the administrator.
