Single Point Setup
Sessions
Cisco WAP131 and WAP351 Administration Guide
The following information is displayed for each WLAN client session with a Single
Point Setup:
• AP Location—The location of the WAP device. The location is derived from
the location specified on the Administration > System Settings page.
• User MAC—The MAC address of the WAP device. A MAC address is a
hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a network.
• Idle—The amount of time that this WLAN client has remained inactive. A
WLAN client is considered to be inactive when it is not receiving or
transmitting data.
• Rate—The negotiated data rate. Actual transfer rates can vary depending
on overhead. The data transmission rate is measured in megabits per
second (Mbps). The value should fall within the range of the advertised rate
set for the mode in use on the WAP device. For example, 6 to 54 Mbps for
802.11a.
• Signal—The strength of the radio frequency (RF) signal the WLAN client
receives from the WAP device. The measure is known as Received Signal
Strength Indication (RSSI), and is a value between 0 and 100.
• Receive Total—The number of total packets received by the WLAN client
during the current session.
• Transmit Total—The number of total packets transmitted to the WLAN
client during this session.
• Error Rate—The percentage of time frames are dropped during
transmission on the WAP device.
To sort the information shown in the tables by a particular indicator, click the
column label that you want to sort by. For example, if you want to see the table
rows ordered by signal strength, click the Signal column label.
