Clustering Multiple Access Points Managing Cluster Sessions 7 Table 37 Session Management Field User MAC Description Indicates the MAC address of the wireless client device. A MAC address is a hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a network. Idle Indicates the amount of time this station has remained inactive. Rate A station is considered to be idle when it is not receiving or transmitting data. The speed at which this access point is transferring data to the specified client. The data transmission rate is measured in megabits per second (Mbps). Signal This value should fall within the range of the advertised rate set for the mode in use on the access point. For example, 6 to 54 Mbps for 802.11a. Strength of the radio frequency (RF) signal the client receives from the access point. The measure used for this is a value known as Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI), and will be a value between 0 and 100. Receive Total Transmit Total Error Rate RSSI is determined by a mechanism implemented on the network interface card (NIC) of the client station. Number of total packets received by the client during the current session. Number of total packets transmitted to the client during this session. Percentage of time frames are dropped during transmission on this access point. Sorting Session Information To sort the information shown in the tables by a particular indicator, click the column label by which you want to order things. For example, if you want to see the table rows ordered by signal strength, click the Signal column label. The entries are sorted by signal strength.

Sorting Session Information
To sort the information shown in the tables by a particular indicator, click the
column label by which you want to order things. For example, if you want to see
the table rows ordered by signal strength, click the
Signal
column label. The
entries are sorted by signal strength.
User MAC
Indicates the MAC address of the wireless client
device.
A MAC address is a hardware address that uniquely
identifies each node of a network.
Idle
Indicates the amount of time this station has
remained inactive.
A station is considered to be idle when it is not
receiving or transmitting data.
Rate
The speed at which this access point is transferring
data to the specified client.
The data transmission rate is measured in
megabits
per second
(Mbps).
This value should fall within the range of the
advertised rate set for the mode in use on the access
point. For example, 6 to 54 Mbps for 802.11a.
Signal
Strength of the radio frequency (RF) signal the client
receives from the access point.
The measure used for this is a value known as
Received Signal Strength Indication
(RSSI), and will be a value between 0 and 100.
RSSI is determined by a mechanism implemented on
the network interface card (NIC) of the client station.
Receive Total
Number of total packets received by the client during
the current session.
Transmit Total
Number of total packets transmitted to the client
during this session.
Error Rate
Percentage of time frames are dropped during
transmission on this access point.
