4. Refer to the RF Status field to view the following Client signal, noise and performance
information for the WLAN selected from the Mobility 5181 Access Point menu tree.
5. Refer to the Errors field to view Client association error statistics for the WLAN selected from
the Mobility 5181 Access Point menu tree.
Pkts per second The Total column displays the average total packets per second
crossing the selected WLAN. The Rx column displays the average
total packets per second received on the selected WLAN. The Tx
column displays the average total packets per second sent on 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.
Throughput The Total column displays average throughput in Mbps for a given
time period on the selected WLAN. The Rx column displays
average throughput in Mbps for packets received on the selected
WLAN. The Tx column displays average throughput for packets
sent on the selected WLAN. The number in black represents
statistics for the last 30 seconds and the number in blue
represents statistics for the last hour. Use this information to
assess whether the current Mobility 5181 Access Point data rate is
sufficient to support required network traffic.
Avg. Bit Speed 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 RF
Statistics and Errors fields to troubleshoot.
% Non-unicast pkts 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.
Avg Client Signal Displays the average RF signal strength in dBm for all Clients
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 Client to a different WLAN if a better
functional grouping of Clients can be determined.
Avg Client Noise Displays the average RF noise for all Clients associated with the
selected WLAN. The number in black represents Client noise for
the last 30 seconds and the number in blue represents Client
noise for the last hour. If Client noise is excessive, consider moving
the Client closer to the Mobility 5181 Access Point, or in area with
less conflicting network traffic.
Avg Client SNR Displays the average Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) for all Clients
associated with the selected WLAN. The Signal to Noise Ratio is an
indication of overall RF performance on your wireless networks.
