Understanding Session Monitoring Information
The Sessions page shows information on client stations associated with access points in the cluster. Each
client is identified by user name and user MAC address, along with the AP (location) to which it is
currently connected.
To view a particular statistic for client sessions, select an item from the Display drop-down list and click
Go. You can view information on Idle Time, Data Rate, Signal, Utilization, and so on; all of which are
described in detail in the table below.
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 client logs
on to the network, and the session ends when the client either logs off intentionally or loses the
connection for some other reason.
