For more information about the graphs in the instant access point view and for monitoring procedures, see Table 15. Table 15 Instant Access Point View - RF Trends Graphs and Monitoring Procedures Graph Name Description Monitoring Procedure Utilization The Utilization graph shows the radio utilization percentage of the access point for the last 15 minutes. To see an enlarged view, click the graph.  The enlarged view provides Last, Minimum, Maximum, and Average radio utilization statistics for the IAP for the last 15 minutes. To see the exact utilization percent at a particular time, hover the cursor over the graph line. To monitor the utilization of the selected IAP for the last 15 minutes, 1. Log in to the Instant UI. The Virtual Controller view appears. This is the default view. 2. In the Access Points tab, click the IAP for which you want to monitor the utilization. The IAP view appears. 3.
