Understanding Session Monitoring Information

The Sessions page shows information on client stations associated with access points in the cluster. Each client is identified by user name and user MAC address, along with the AP (location) to which it is currently connected.

To view a particular statistic for client sessions, select an item from the Display drop-down list and click Go. You can view information on Idle Time, Data Rate, Signal, Utilization, and so on; all of which are described in detail in the table below.

A "session" in this context is the period of time in which a user on a client device (station) with a unique

MAC address maintains a connection with the wireless network. The session begins when the client logs on to the network, and the session ends when the client either logs off intentionally or loses the connection for some other reason.
