Instant Access Point View - RF Trends Graphs and Monitoring Procedures
Description
The Utilization graph shows the radio utilization
percentage of the access point for the last 15
minutes.
To see an enlarged view, click the graph.
 The enlarged view provides Last, Minimum,
Maximum, and Average radio utilization
statistics for the IAP for the last 15 minutes.
To see the exact utilization percent at a
particular time, hover the cursor over the graph
line.
The 2.4 GHz Frames graph shows the In and Out
frame rate per second for the radio in 2.4 GHz
band for the last 15 minutes.
 Outgoing frames - Outgoing frame traffic is
displayed in green. It is shown above the
median line.
 Incoming frames - Incoming frame traffic is
displayed in blue. It is shown below the
median line.
To see an enlarged view, click the graph.
 The enlarged view provides Last, Minimum,
Maximum, and Average statistics for the
incoming and outgoing frames.
To see the exact utilization percent at a
particular time, hover the cursor over the graph
line.
The Noise Floor graph shows the signals
created by all the noise sources and unwanted
signals in the network. Noise floor is measured
in decibels/metre. Too many unwanted signals
hamper the performance of the IAP. Monitor the
noise floor regularly for optimal performance of
the IAP.
To see an enlarged view, click the graph.
 The enlarged view provides Last, Minimum,
Maximum, and Average statistics for the In
and Out frames.
To see the exact utilization percent at a
particular time, hover the cursor over the graph
line.
The Errors graph shows the errors that occurred
while receiving the frames for the last 15
minutes. The errors are measured in frames per
second.
To see an enlarged view, click the graph.
 The enlarged view provides Last, Minimum,
Maximum, and Average statistics for the In
and Out frames.
To see the exact utilization percent at a
particular time, hover the cursor over the graph
line.
Monitoring Procedure
To monitor the utilization of the selected IAP for the last 15
minutes,
1. Log in to the Instant UI. The Virtual Controller view
appears. This is the default view.
2. In the Access Points tab, click the IAP for which you
want to monitor the utilization. The IAP view appears.
3. Study the Utilization graph in the RF Trends pane. For
example, the graph on the left shows 62% IAP radio
utilization for the 2.4 GHz band at 22:28 hours.
NOTE: You can also click the rectangle icon under the
Utilization column in the RF Dashboard pane to see the
Utilization graph for the selected IAP.
To monitor the In and Out frame rate per second for the
radio in 2.4 GHz band, for the last 15 minutes,
1. Log in to the WebUI. The Virtual Controller view
appears. This is the default view.
2. In the Access Points tab, click the name link of the IAP
for which you want to monitor the frame rate. The IAP
view appears.
3. Study the 2.4 GHz Frames graph in the RF Trends pane.
For example, the graph on the left shows 1537.0
incoming frames at 22:31 hours.
To monitor the noise floor for the IAP for the last 15
minutes,
1. Log in to the WebUI. The Virtual Controller view
appears. This is the default view.
2. In the Access Points tab, click the name link of the IAP
for which you want to monitor the noise floor. The IAP
view appears.
3. Study the Noise Floor graph in the RF Trends pane. For
example, the graph on the left shows that the noise
floor for the IAP at 22:38 hours is -82.0 dBm.
NOTE: You can also click the rectangle icon under the
Noise column in the RF Dashboard pane to see the Noise
graph for the selected IAP.
To monitor the errors for the IAP for the last 15 minutes,
1. Log in to the WebUI. The Virtual Controller view
appears. This is the default view.
2. In the Access Points tab, click the name link of the IAP
for which you want to monitor the errors. The IAP view
appears.
3. Study the Errors graph in the RF Trends pane. For
example, the graph on the left shows that the errors for
the IAP at 22:48 hours is 9514.0 frames per second.
NOTE: You can also click the rectangle icon under the
Errors column in the RF Dashboard pane to see the Errors
graph for the selected IAP.
