Session Monitoring
The AT-WA7400 Management Software provides real-time session
monitoring information including which clients are associated with a
particular access point, data rates, transmit/receive statistics, signal
strength, and idle time.
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 access point to another within the
context of the same session. A client station can roam between
access points and maintain the session.
Note
For information about monitoring associations and link integrity
monitoring, see “Viewing the Associated Wireless Clients” on
page 192.
