Field

Description

 

 

Signal

Indicates the strength of the radio frequency (RF) signal the client receives

 

from the access point.

 

The measure used for this is an IEEE 802.1x value known as Received

 

Signal Strength Indication (RSSI), and will be a value between 0 and 100.

 

RSSI is determined by a an IEEE 802.1x mechanism implemented on the

 

network interface card (NIC) of the client station.

 

 

Utilization

Utilization rate for this station.

 

For example, if the station is “active” (transmitting and receiving data) 90%

 

of the time and inactive 10% of the time, its “utilization rate” is 90%.

 

 

RxAve

Indicates number of total packets received by the client during the current

 

session.

 

 

TxAve

Indicates number of total packets transmitted to the client during this

 

session.

 

 

Error Rate

Indicates the percentage of time frames are dropped during transmission

 

on this access point.
