The Recent Events area lists the most recent events specific to the device. This information also appears on the
System > Events Log page (refer to “Using the System > Event Log Page” on page186). Table 78 describes the
fields in this page that display in the Recent Events table.
Evaluating Radio Statistics for an AP
The APs/Devices > Monitor > Radio Statistics page contains useful data for pinpointing network issues at the
AP radio level for Dell APs and Cisco WLC thin APs (firmware 4.2 or greater).
To see radio statistics details, navigate to the APs/Devices > Monitoring page for a supported AP and select the
linked radio under the Name column in the Radios list table, as illustrated in Figure 81.

Overview of the Radio Statistics Page
The Radio Statistics page displays transmit and receive statistics about the communication quality of individual
radios. Depending on the AP, assigned group profiles, and recent activity on this radio, this data gives visibility
into recent and historical changes in the network, fetches real-time statistics from the AP’s controller, indicates
actively interfering devices (requires Dell PowerConnect W-Series APs set to Spectrum mode), and summarizes
major issues.
Viewing Real-Time ARM Statistics
Dell AP Groups that have the Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) feature enabled continuously optimize each
AP to use the best channel and transmission power settings available. An AP configured with ARM will
automatically adjust to a better channel if it reaches a configured threshold for noise, MAC errors, or PHY errors;
additionally, it can attenuate transmit power and switch between radio modes as needed. For more information,
refer to the ARM chapter in the Dell PowerConnect W-Series ArubaOS User Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.
Complete ARM statistics from Dell PowerConnect W-Series controllers can be retrieved from the Radio
Statistics page by selecting the Run a command drop-down menu and choosing button, as illustrated in Figure
82.
LAN IP
Addresses
Displays the IP assigned to the user MAC. This information is not always available. AirWave can gather it
from the ARP cache of switches discovered by AirWave. As of AMP 7.4, this column can accommodate
multiple IP addresses for a client if it has both IPv4 and IPv6.
LAN Hostnames The DNS hostname(s) broadcast by the client. As of 7.4, this column can accommodate multiple hostnames
for a client if it has both IPv4 and IPv6.
