BPSK, QPSK, 64-QAM), coding rate (for example, 1/2, 3/4), guard interval (800 or 400 ns), and number of
spatial streams. Support for MCS 0-15 is mandatory for 802.11n APs and support for MCS 0-7 is mandatory
for 802.11n Clients.
Greenfield Mode: Indicates if the AP is capable of working in the Greenfield mode. Greenfield mode is an
optional high-throughput mode in the 802.11n standard, which is not backward compatible with legacy
(802.11a/b/g) protocols and is expected to provide maximum performance benefits of 802.11n.
Beam forming Capability: Indicates if the AP is capable of Beamforming. Beamforming is an RF
transmission method that helps in focusing the radiated RF energy directly at a receiving Client. This
improves signal reception at the Client and consequently the throughput.

device are displayed in the rows. To view details of a specific Device seeing the current AP, click Name, and a new
AP Details or Sensor Details dialog appears.
Note: Total gives the total number of devices seeing the AP.
Recently Associated Clients Section
Under Recently Associated Clients, you can view a list of Clients that are recently associated to the selected AP. The
criteria for Recent Association is either 12 hours or 100 thousand Clients (this is the total number of associations in
the system and not per device). Client details such as Client Active/Inactive icon, Client Name, SSID, and Last
Detected At (which shows the date and time or Present, Present when the association is currently active.) are
displayed in the rows. To view details of a specific Client, click Client Name the Client Details screen opens.
