Using the AirMatch Dashboard

Available for AOS 6.x (ARM) and AOS 8.x (AirMatch), the AirMatch dashboard provides insight into the entire WLAN network. To open the dashboard, go to Home > AirMatch.

From the dashboard, you can view the following charts:

  • Power Distribution—Shows the transmit power for 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz radios.
  • Channel Distribution (6 GHz)—Shows the radio count in the 6 GHz channels and the distribution of channel bandwidth in the 20MHz, 40MHz, 80MHz and 160MHz ranges.
  • Channel distribution (5 GHz)—Shows the radio count in the 5 GHz channels and the distribution of channel bandwidth in the 20 GHz, 40 GHz, and 80 GHz ranges.
  • Channel distribution (2 GHz)—Shows the radios in the 2.4 GHz channels and the distribution of channel bandwidth in the 20 GHz, 40 GHz, and 80 GHz ranges.
  • Channel Change Reasons—Shows channel change reasons if AirMatch can determine the cause of the noise and interference.
  • Channel Changes—Shows channel changes across multiples APs in a given folder.

The Power Distribution and Channel Distribution graphs use color to display separate statistics for clients connecting to the network using 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz radios, as shown in Figure 1.

You can toggle between statistics for 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz channels when viewing change reasons, by clicking the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz option links in the time slider, as shown in Figure 2. You can also choose the folder view option.
