The Total column displays the average total packets per
second crossing the selected WLAN. The Rx column
displays the average total packets per second received on
the selected WLAN. The Tx column displays the average
total packets per second sent on the selected WLAN. The
number in black represents this statistic for the last 30
seconds and the number in blue represents this statistic
for the last hour.
The Total column displays average throughput in Mbps for
a given time period on the selected WLAN. The Rx column
displays average throughput in Mbps for packets received
on the selected WLAN. The Tx column displays average
throughput for packets sent on the selected WLAN. The
number in black represents statistics for the last 30
seconds and the number in blue represents statistics for
the last hour. Use this information to assess whether the
current access point data rate is sufficient to support
required network traffic.
The Total column displays the average bit speed in Mbps
for a given time period on the selected WLAN.This
includes all packets that are sent and received. The
number in black represents statistics for the last 30
seconds and the number in blue represents statistics for
the last hour. If the bit speed is significantly slower than
the selected data rate, refer to the RF Statistics and Errors
fields to troubleshoot.
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.
Displays the average RF signal strength in dBm for all
MUs associated with the selected WLAN. The number in
black represents this statistic for the last 30 seconds and
the number in blue represents this statistic for the last
hour. If the signal is low, consider mapping the MU to a
different WLAN if a better functional grouping of MUs can
be determined.
Displays the average RF noise for all MUs associated with
the selected WLAN. The number in black represents MU
noise for the last 30 seconds and the number in blue
represents MU noise for the last hour. If MU noise is
excessive, consider moving the MU closer to the access
point, or in area with less conflicting network traffic.
Displays the average Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) for all
MUs associated with the selected WLAN. The Signal to
Noise Ratio is an indication of overall RF performance on
your wireless networks.
