Trends, Statistics, and Top 5 APs
This section of the Access Point dashboard graphically represents the statistics of a selected AP. By default, the trend graphs display data for the last two hours. Depending upon the threshold settings configurations and filters, and the panels selected to be displayed, the AP and the corresponding Stations information is graphically charted as follows:
- Stations and Throughput
- Low Signal Stations
- High Loss Stations
- AP Tx and Rx
- Applications and Stations by Usage
- Stations Summary
- Stations and Alarms
Stations and Throughput
This panel displays a plotting of the total number of stations and the throughput against time. The graph displays the aggregate Number of Stations connected to the selected AP and the average Throughput (Mbps) at a given time.
Each bar represents the maximum number of stations connected to the selected AP and the average throughput during that interval. Hover over each of the bars to view the station count and throughput during that time interval.
Low Signal Stations
This panel is a trend graph that displays the total number of stations having low SNR and connected to the selected AP. SNR is defined as the signal strength relative to the background noise.
Hover over each of the intervals on the bar graph to see a summary of the maximum number of stations connected and the total number of low signal stations as per the average SNR as configured. You can configure the threshold for Average SNR from the available filter options. The graph is plotted based on the configurations.
High Loss Stations
This panel is a trend graph that displays the total number of stations having a High Loss and connected to the selected AP. High Loss is defined as the percentage of the number 802.11 unicast packets transmitted for which no 802.11 acknowledgment is received, which is greater than 40%.
Hover over each of the intervals on the bar graph to see a summary of the maximum number of stations connected and the total number of high loss stations as per the average loss percentage as configured. You can configure the threshold for Average Loss (%) from the available filter options. The graph is plotted based on the configurations.
AP Tx and Rx
This panel is a trend graph that displays the average Tx and Rx utilization (Mbps) of the selected AP.
Applications and Stations by Usage
This panel displays the summary of the applications used the most by the selected AP and also the top five stations with the highest average bandwidth utilization.
Stations Summary
This panel displays the summary of all the stations connected to the selected AP with the classification of stations by OS type. The total count of each of the 5 GHz stations, 2.4 GHz stations, high retries stations, and low SNR stations is displayed.
Stations and Alarms
The Stations panel displays the total number of stations connected to the selected AP, and the Alarms panel displays the alarms reported for that AP.
