Cisco Systems CB21AG manual Table F-1 Site Survey Utility Associated AP Status

Appendix F Performing a Site Survey

Using the Associated AP Status Tab

Table F-1interprets the information that is displayed on the Associated AP Status tab.

Note The trend graphs to the right of the smaller bar graphs provide a graphical representation of activity in the past 10 to 60 seconds. The height of an individual trend graph is proportional to the width of its corresponding bar graph. The time is displayed as a negative value to indicate that the data is older at the left edge of the graph than at the right. Use the up and down arrows to select the desired number of seconds from -10 through -60. The default value is -10.

Table F-1 Site Survey Utility - Associated AP Status

Associated AP Status Parameter	Description
Access Point	The access point to which your client adapter is associated. This
	field may show the access point’s name, IP address, and MAC
	address.
	Note This information is shown only if the access point was
	configured with a name and/or IP address, Aironet
	Extensions are enabled (on access points running Cisco
	IOS release 12.2(4)JA or greater), and the access point
	transmits this information.
	Note This field shows up to 15 characters for the access point
	name although the name may be longer.
	Note If Aironet Extensions are disabled, the IP address of the
	associated access point is shown as 0.0.0.0.
	Note This field displays the MAC address of the access point’s
	Ethernet port (for access points that do not run Cisco IOS
	software) or the MAC address of the access point’s radio
	(for access points that run Cisco IOS software). The MAC
	address of the Ethernet port on access points that run Cisco
	IOS software is printed on a label on the back of the device.
Channel	The channel and radio frequency that the access point is currently
	using for communications.
	Value: Dependent on radio band and regulatory domain
Signal Strength	The signal strength of the most recently received packets. The
	higher the value and the wider the bar graph, the stronger the
	signal.
	The trend graph to the right of the bar graph provides a visual
	interpretation of the signal strength over time. Differences in
	signal strength are indicated by the following colors: green
	(strongest), yellow (middle of the range), and red (weakest).
	Range: –95 to –45 dBm or 0 to 100%
