AT-TQ2403 - Management Software - User's Guide 

 



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. 

 

Details about the session information shown is described below. 

Field 

Description 

Indicates the client user name of IEEE 802.1x clients. 

Note: This field is relevant only for clients that are connected to APs using IEEE 

802.1x security mode and local authentication server. (For more information about 

this mode, see “

”.) For clients of APs using IEEE 802.1x with RADIUS 

server or other security modes, no user name will be shown here. 

Indicates the location of the access point. 

This is derived from the location description specified on the Basic Settings tab.  

Indicates the MAC address of the user’s client device (station). 

A MAC address is a hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a 

network. 

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.  

The speed at which this access point is transferring data to the specified 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 IEEE 802.1x 

mode in use on the access point. For example, 6 to 54Mbps for 802.11a. 

Indicates the strength of the radio frequency (RF) signal the client receives from the 
access point. 

The measure used for this is an IEEE 802.1x value known as Received SignalStrength 

Indication (RSSI), and will be a value between 0 and 100. 

RSSI is determined by an IEEE 802.1x mechanism implemented on the network 

interface card (NIC) of the client station. 

Utilization rate for this station. 

For example, if the station is "active" (transmitting and receiving data) 90% of the 

time and inactive 10% of the time, its "utilization rate" is 90%.
