Cisco WAP131 and WAP351 Administration Guide
There may be situations, however, when you want to view or manage information
on a particular WAP device. For example, you may want to check the status
information such as the client associations or the events for a WAP device. In this
case, you can click the IP address in the table on the Access Points page to show
the configuration utility for the particular WAP device.

Navigating to a Device Using its IP Address in a URL

You can also link to the configuration utility of a specific WAP device by entering
the IP address for that WAP device as a URL directly into a web browser address
bar in the following form:
http://IPAddressOfAccessPoint (if using HTTP)
https://IPAddressofAccessPoint (if using HTTPS)
Use the Sessions page to show information on the WLAN clients that are
associated with the WAP devices in the Single Point Setup cluster. Each WLAN
client is identified by its MAC address, along with the device location where it is
currently connected.
This page shows a maximum of 20 clients per radio on the clustered WAP devices.
To see all WLAN clients associated with a particular WAP device, view the Status
> Associated Clients page directly on that device.
To view a particular statistic for a WLAN client session, choose an item from the
Display list and click Go. You can view information about the idle time, the data
rate, and the signal strength.
A session in this context is the period of time in which a user on a client device
(station) with a unique MAC address maintains a connection with the wireless
network. The session begins when the WLAN client logs on to the network, and
the session ends when the WLAN client either logs off intentionally or loses the
connection for some other reason.
A session is not the same as an association, which describes a WLAN client
connection to a particular WAP device. A WLAN client association can shift from
one clustered WAP device to another within the same session.
To view the sessions associated with the cluster, select Single Point Setup >
Sessions.
