Note The trend graphs to the right of the smaller bar graphs provide a graphical representation of activity in
the past 10 to 60 seconds. The height of an individual trend graph is proportional to the width of its
corresponding bar graph. The time is displayed as a negative value to indicate that the data is older at
the left edge of the graph than at the right. Use the up and down arrows to select the desired number of
seconds from -10 through -60. The default value is -10.

higher the value and the wider the bar graph, the stronger the
signal.
The trend graph to the right of the bar graph provides a visual
interpretation of the signal strength over time. Differences in
signal strength are indicated by the following colors: green
(strongest), yellow (middle of the range), and red (weakest).
Range: –95 to –45 dBm or 0 to 100%
This information is shown only if the access point was
configured with a name and/or IP address, Aironet
Extensions are enabled (on access points running Cisco
IOS release 12.2(4)JA or greater), and the access point
transmits this information.
This field shows up to 15 characters for the access point
name although the name may be longer.
If Aironet Extensions are disabled, the IP address of the
associated access point is shown as 0.0.0.0.
This field displays the MAC address of the access point's
Ethernet port (for access points that do not run Cisco IOS
software) or the MAC address of the access point's radio
(for access points that run Cisco IOS software). The MAC
address of the Ethernet port on access points that run Cisco
IOS software is printed on a label on the back of the device.
