Viewing Session Information for Access Points
Field Description
You can view session information for all access points on the network at the same time,
or set the display to show session information for a specified access point chosen from
the drop-down menu at the top of the screen.
To view information on all access points, select the
at the top of the page.
To view session information on a particular access point, select the
point
radio button and choose the access point name from the drop-down menu.

Description
This value should fall within the range of the advertised
rate set for the
IEEE 802.1x
point.
Indicates the strength of the radio frequency (RF) signal
the client receives from the access point.
The measure used for this is an
known as Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI),
and will be a value between 0 and 100.
RSSI is determined by a an IEEE 802.1x mechanism
implemented on the network interface card (NIC) of the
client station.
Utilization rate for this station.
For example, if the station is "active" (transmitting and
receiving data) 90% of the time and inactive 10% of the
time, its "utilization rate" is 90%.
Indicates number of total packets received by the client
during the current session.
Indicates number of total packets transmitted to the
client during this session.
Indicates the percentage of time frames are dropped
during transmission on this access point.
