Graphs |
You can select the following graphs to display: Clients. This graph shows a summary of the number of users on the network during a specified period of time. By default, AirWave displays the maximum number of users. To display a list of data series that this graph can display, such as the user count by SSID, select Show All . Or, clear the Max Clients or Avg Clients check boxes to change the display. Client Health. This graph shows the percentage of clients with good, fair, and poor health. The client health metric displayed in these charts is the efficiency at which that AP transmits downstream traffic to a particular client. AirWave compares the amount of time the AP spends transmitting call data to a client to the amount of time that would be required under ideal conditions (at the maximum Rx rate supported by client, with no data retries) to calculate this metric. To view the new graph from the Home page, select Client Health from the Clients menu. Usage. This adjustable chart displays bandwidth data over time. To remove bandwidth in or out from the graphical display, clear the check box for Avg Bits Per SecondIn or Out. To display details for specific devices, select Show All and select the devices to be included in the graphical bandwidth summary chart. To view historical graphs in a new window, select the three-bar icon on the upper right of the chart. |
