General Access Port Information
Information Section
Traffic Area
HW Address The Media Access Control (MAC) address of the Access Port. This value is typically set at the
factory and can be found on the bottom of the Access Port.
Placement Lists whether the Access Port is placed indoors or outdoors. This is determined by the place-
ment setting in the Access Port configuration screen in the Network Configuration section.
Current Channel This field indicates the channel for communications between the Access Port and mobile units.
To specify the value, go to the corresponding Access Port screen.
Adopted by The WLANs that currently adopt this Access Port (see Network Configuration --> Wireless for
the Access Port Adoption List).
Location The site location of the Access Port (an optional field that the administrator fills in on the Wire-
less --> Access Ports --> <Access Port Name> screen).
Radio Type Displays the radio type of the selected Access Port. Radio types can be 802.11a, 802.11b, or
802.11b/g.
Power The power level in milliwatts (mW) for RF signal strength is specified on the corresponding
Access Port screen.
Num. Associated
MUs
Lists the number of mobile units (MUs) currently associated with the Access Port.
Packets per second The Total column displays the average total packets per second that cross the selected Access
Port. The Rx column displays the average total packets per second received on the selected
Access Port. The Tx column displays the average total packets per second sent on the selected
Access Port. The number in black represents this statistic for the last 30 seconds and the num-
ber in blue represents this statistic for the last hour.
Throughput The Total column displays the average throughput in Mbps for a given time period on the
selected Access Port. The Rx column displays the average throughput in Mbps for packets
received on the selected Access Port. The Tx column displays the average throughput for pack-
ets sent on the Access Port 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.
Avg. Bit Speed The Total column displays the average bit speed in Mbps for a given time period on the selected
Access Port.This includes all packets that are sent and received. The number in black represents
this statistic for the last 30 seconds and the number in blue represents this statistic for the last
hour.
Approx RF Utilization The approximate utilization of the Access Port’s RF port. This is calculated as Throughput divided
by Average bit speed. The number in black represents this statistic for the last 30 seconds and
the number in blue represents this statistic for the last hour.
% Non-unicast pkts Displays the percentage of the total packets for the selected Access Port that are non-unicast
packets. Non-unicast packets include broadcast and multicast packets.The number in black rep-
resents this statistic for the last 30 seconds and the number in blue represents this statistic for
the last hour.
