2 Refer to the Information field to view the Altitude 35xx 802.11a or 802.11b/g radio’s MAC address,
placement and transmission information.
3 Refer to the Traffic field to view performance and throughput information for the target Altitude
35xx 802.11a or 802.11b/g radio.
4 Refer to the RF Status field to view the following MU signal, noise and performance information for
the target Altitude 35xx 802.11a or 802.11b/g radio.
HW Address The Media Access Control (MAC) address of the Altitude
35xx housing the 802.11a radio. The MAC address is set
at the factory and can be found on the bottom of the
access point.
Radio Type Displays the radio type (either 802.11a or 802.11b/g).
Power The power level in milliwatts (mW) for RF signal strength.
Active WLANs Lists the Altitude 35xx WLANs adopted by the 802.11a or
802.11b/g radio.
Placement Lists whether the Altitude 35xx radio is indoors or
outdoors.
Current Channel Indicates the channel for communications between the
Altitude 35xx radio and its associated MUs.
Num Associated
MUs
Lists the number of mobile units (MUs) currently
associated with the Altitude 35xx 802.11a or 802.11b/g
radio.
Pkts per second The Total column displays the average total packets per
second crossing the radio. The Rx column displays the
average total packets per second received. The Tx column
displays the average total packets per second transmitted.
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 on the
radio. The Rx column displays average throughput in Mbps
for packets received. The Tx column displays average
throughput for packets transmitted. 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 throughput
is sufficient to support required network traffic.
Avg. Bit Speed The Total column displays the average bit speed in Mbps
for the radio This includes all packets transmitted and
received. The number in black represents statistics for the
last 30 seconds and the number in blue represents
statistics for the last hour.
Approximate RF
Utilization
The approximate RF utilization of the Altitude 35xx radio.
This value is calculated as throughput divided by average
bit speed. The number in black represents this statistic for
the last 30 seconds and the number in blue represents this
statistic for the last hour.
% Non-unicast pkts Displays the percentage of total radio 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.
