l Session Log: this tab displays activity for spectrum monitors and hybrid APs during the current browser
session, including timestamps showing when the devices were connected to and disconnected from the
client, and any changes to a hybrid APs monitored channel.
l Spectrum Dashboards: this window shows different user-customizable data charts for 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz
spectrum monitor or hybrid AP radios. Table 152 below gives a basic description of each of the spectrum
analysis graphs that can appear on the spectrum dashboard.
For more detailed information on these graphs, refer to Customizing Spectrum Analysis Graphs on page 786.

Channel
Metrics
This stacked bar chart shows the current relative quality,
availability or utilization of selected channels in the 2.4 GHz or 5
GHz radio bands. This chart can show multiple channels for a

Channel
Metrics Trend
A line chart showing the relative quality or availability of
selected channels in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz radio bands over a
specified time interval. Spectrum monitors can show channel
data for multiple channels, while a hybrid AP shows information
only for its one monitored channel. For details, see Channel
Metrics Trend on page 796.

Channel
Summary
Table
The Channel Summary table displays the number of devices
found on each channel in the spectrum monitor’s radio band,
the percentage of channel utilization, and AP power and
interference levels. Spectrum monitors can show data for
multiple channels, while a hybrid AP shows a channel summary
only for its one monitored channel. For details, see Channel
Summary Table on page 798.
5 seconds
Channel
Utilization
Trend
A line chart that shows the channel utilization for one or more
radio channels, as measured over a defined time interval.
Spectrum monitors can show data for multiple channels, while a
hybrid AP shows utilization levels for its one monitored channel
only. For details, see Channel Utilization Trend on page 801.
