Graph
Name
Description Monitoring Procedure
To see the exact speed at a particular
time, move the cursor over the graph line.
speed at 12:26 hours is 240 Mbps.
Throughput The Throughput Graph shows the
throughput of the selected client for the
last 15 minutes.
l Outgoing traffic—Throughput for the
outgoing traffic is displayed in green.
It is shown above the median line.
l Incoming traffic—Throughput for the
incoming traffic is displayed in blue. It
is shown below the median line.
To see an enlarged view, click the graph.
The enlarged view shows Last, Minimum,
Maximum, and Average statistics for the
incoming and outgoing traffic throughput
of the client for the last 15 minutes.
To see the exact throughput at a
particular time, move the cursor over the
graph line.
To monitor the errors for the client for the last 15
minutes:
1. Log in to the Instant UI. The Virtual Controller view
is displayed. This is the default view.
2. In the Clients tab, click the IP address of the client
for which you want to monitor the throughput.
3. Study the Throughput graph in the RF Trends
pane. For example, the graph shows 1.0 Kbps
outgoing traffic throughput for the client at 12:30
hours.

Usage Trends
The Usage Trends section displays the following graphs:
l Clients—In the default view, the Clients graph displays the number of clients that were associated with the
VC in the last 15 minutes. In Network view or the Access Point view, this graph displays the number of
clients that were associated with the selected network or W-IAP in the last 15 minutes.
l Throughput—In the default view, the Throughput graph displays the incoming and outgoing throughput
traffic for the VC in the last 15 minutes. In the Network view or the Access Point view, this graph displays
the incoming and outgoing throughput traffic for the selected network or W-IAP in the last 15 minutes.
