3. Refer to the Traffic field to view performance and throughput information for the target Mobility
5181 Access Point 802.11a or 802.11b/g radio.
4. Refer to the RF Status field to view the following Client signal, noise and performance
information for the target Mobility 5181 Access Point 802.11a or 802.11b/g radio.
Current Channel Indicates the channel for communications between the Mobility
5181 Access Point radio and its associated Clients. To change the
channel setting, see
“Configuring the 802.11a or 802.11b/g
radio” on page 121.
Num Associated
Clients Lists the number of wireless clients currently associated with the
Mobility 5181 Access Point 802.11a or 802.11b/g radio.
Pkts per second The Total column displays the average total packets per second
crossing the radio. The Rx column displays the average total
packets per second received. The Tx column displays the average
total packets per second transmitted. 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 on the radio. The Rx
column displays average throughput in Mbps for packets received.
The Tx column displays average throughput for packets
transmitted. 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
throughput is sufficient to support required network traffic.
Avg. Bit Speed The Total column displays the average bit speed in Mbps for the
radio This includes all packets transmitted and received. The
number in black represents statistics for the last 30 seconds and
the number in blue represents statistics for the last hour.
Approximate RF
Utilization The approximate RF utilization of the Mobility 5181 Access Point
radio. This value 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 total radio 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 radio. The number in black represents the
average signal for the last 30 seconds and the number in blue
represents the average signal 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.
