access point as a URL directly into a Web browser address bar in the following form:
http://IPAddressOfAccessPoint
where IPAddressOfAccessPoint is the address of the particular access point you want to monitor or congure.
Managing Cluster Sessions
The Sessions page shows information about client stations associated with access points in the cluster. Each client is
identied by its MAC address, along with the AP (location) to which it is currently connected.
To view a particular statistic for client sessions, select an item from the Display drop-down list and click Go. You can
view information about idle time, data rate, signal strength and so on; all of which are described in detail in the table
below.
A session in this context is the period of time in which a user on a client device (station) with a unique MAC address
maintains a connection with the wireless network. The session begins when the client logs on to the network, and the
session ends when the client either logs off intentionally or loses the connection for some other reason.
Note: A session is not the same as an association, which describes a client connection to a
particular access point. A client network connection can shift from one clustered AP to another
within the context of the same session. A client station can roam between APs and maintain the
session.
To manage sessions associated with the cluster, click Cluster > Sessions.

Details about the session information shown is described in the following table.
Field Description
AP Location Indicates the location of the access point.
This is derived from the location description specied on the Basic Settings page.
User MAC Indicates the MAC address of the wireless client device.
A MAC address is a hardware address that uniquely identies each node of a network.
Idle Indicates the amount of time this station has remained inactive.
A station is considered to be idle when it is not receiving or transmitting data.
Rate The speed at which this access point is transferring data to the specied client.
The data transmission rate is measured in megabits per second (Mbps).
This value should fall within the range of the advertised rate set for the mode in use on the
access point. For example, 6 to 54 Mbps for 802.11a.
Signal Indicates the strength of the radio frequency (RF) signal the client receives from the access
point.
The measure used for this is a value known as Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI),
and will be a value between 0 and 100.
RSSI is determined by a mechanism implemented on the network interface card (NIC) of the
client station.
Receive Total Indicates number of total packets received by the client during the current session.
Transmit Total Indicates number of total packets transmitted to the client during this session.
Error Rate Indicates the percentage of time frames are dropped during transmission on this access
point.
