Monitoring Statistics 7-15
3. Refer to the Traffic field to view performance and throughput information for the WLAN selected from the AP-5131 menu tree.
Encryption Type Displays the encryption method defined for the WLAN. If the
encryption type does not match the desired scheme for the WLAN
or needs to be enabled, see Enabling Authentication and
Encryption Schemes on page 6-5.
Num. Associated MUs Displays the total number of MUs currently associated with the
WLAN. If this number seems excessive, consider segregating MU’s
to other WLANs if appropriate.
Pkts per second The Total column displays the average total packets per second
crossing the selected WLAN. The Rx column displays the average
total packets per second received on the selected WLAN. The Tx
column displays the average total packets per second sent on the
selected WLAN. The number in black represents this statistic for
the last 30 seconds and the number in blue represents this statistic
for the last hour.
Throughput The Total column displays average throughput in Mbps for a given
time period on the selected WLAN. The Rx column displays
average throughput in Mbps for packets received on the selected
WLAN. The Tx column displays average throughput for packets
sent on the selected WLAN. The number in black represents
statistics for the last 30 seconds and the number in blue represents
statistics for the last hour. Use this information to assess whether
the current AP-5131 data rate is sufficient to support required
network traffic.
Avg. Bit Speed The Total column displays the average bit speed in Mbps for a
given time period on the selected WLAN.This includes all packets
that are sent and received. The number in black represents
statistics for the last 30 seconds and the number in blue represents
statistics for the last hour. If the bit speed is significantly slower
than the selected data rate, refer to the RF Statistics and Errors
fields to troubleshoot.
% Non-unicast pkts Displays the percentage of the total packets that are non-unicast.
Non-unicast packets include broadcast and multicast packets.The
number in black represents packets for the last 30 seconds and the
number in blue represents packets for the last hour.
