Using the Device Summary Report

The Device Summary Report identifies devices that are the most or least used devices. One potential use of this report is to establish more equal bandwidth distribution across multiple devices.

This report contains the following lists:

• Most Utilized Folders by Maximum Concurrent Clients—displays the top 10 folders that contain the devices supporting the highest numbers of users.
• Most Utilized Folders by Usage—displays the 10 folders that contain the devices that consistently have the highest bandwidth consumption during the reported time period.
• Most Utilized by Maximum Concurrent Clients—displays the 10 most used devices, according to the number of users.
• Most Utilized by Usage—displays the 10 most used devices, according to the bandwidth throughput.
• Least Utilized by Maximum Concurrent Clients—displays the 10 least used devices, according to the number of users.
• Least Utilized by Usage—displays the 10 least used devices, according to the bandwidth throughput.

These lists provide links to additional information or configuration pages for each device. Figure 1 shows some of the most used lists in the report.

Figure 1  Device Summary Report

Any section of this report can be sorted by any of the columns. For example, you can specify a location and then sort the Devices list by the Location column to see details by location, or you can see all of the APs associated with a particular controller by sorting on the Controller column. If the AP name contains information about the location of the AP, you can sort by AP name.

If sorting the Devices list does not provide you with sufficient detail, you can specify a Group or Folder in the report Definition of a custom report. If you create a separate Group or Folder for each set of conductor and local controllers, you can generate a separate report for each Group or Folder. With this method, the summary sections of each report contain only devices from that Group or Folder.

Table 40 describes the fields in the report.

Table 40: Daily Device Summary Report Unique Fields and Descriptions

Field	Description
Rank	Ranks the device or folder from 1 to 10.
Folder	Displays the folder information for the device.
Device	The device name or MAC address.
Max Clients	The highest number of clients that were connected to the device during the reported time period. If a range is not specified, then this value will match the value for Clients.
Unique Clients	The number of clients that were last connected to the device.
Total Data	Displays the total data usage on the device in MB, GB or TB during the reported time period.
Average Usage	Displays the average rate of data sent to the device in Kbps or Mbps during the reported time period.
Maximum Usage	Displays the maximum data usage of the device measured in Mbps or Kbps.
Location	Displays the location information if available.
Controller	The controller that the device is associated to.
Group	Displays the group information for the device.
