Avg Num of Retries
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
fields to troubleshoot.
Displays the percentage of the total packets that are non-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.
field to view the following MU signal, noise and performance
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.
field to view MU association error statistics for the WLAN selected from
Displays the average number of retries for all MUs associated with
the selected WLAN. The number in black represents average
retries for the last 30 seconds and the number in blue represents
average retries for the last hour.
