Users Guide

Field Description
Username Provides the name of the User associated to the AP. W-AirWave gathers this data in a variety of
ways. It can be taken from RADIUS accounting data or traps.
Device Type The type of device the user is using as determined by the Device Type Rules set up by an
administrator in AMP Setup > Device Type Setup. For more information, refer to "Setting Up
Device Types" on page 59.
Role The role of the connected client such as employee, perforce, or logon (captive portal).
MAC Address
Displays the Radio MAC address of the user associated to the AP. Also provides a link that redirects
to the Users > Detail page.
Radio Displays the radio to which the user is associated.
Association
Time
Displays the first time W-AirWave recorded the MAC address as being associated.
Duration Displays the length of time the MAC address has been associated.
Auth Type Displays the type of authentication employed by the user. Supported auth types include:
l EAP—Extensible Authentication Protocol.
l RADIUS accounting—RADIUS accounting servers integrated with W-AirWave provide the
RADIUS Accounting Auth type
l WPA2—Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 encryption
l No Encryption
W-AirWave considers all other types as not authenticated.
The information W-AirWave displays in Auth Type and Cipher columns depends on what
information the server receives from the devices it is monitoring. The client devices may all be
similar, but if the APs to which they are associated are of different models, or if security is set up
differently between them, then different Auth Type or Cipher values may be reported to W-
AirWave.
If all APs are the same model and all are set up the same way, then another reason for differing
Auth Types might be the use of multiple VLANs or SSIDs. One client device might authenticate on
one SSID using one Auth Type and another client device might authenticate on a second SSID
using a different Auth Type.
Cipher Displays the encryption or decryption cipher supporting the user, when this information is available.
The client devices may all be similar, but if the APs to which they are associated are of different
models, or if security is set up differently between them, then different Auth Type or Cipher values
may be reported to W-AirWave.
Auth Time Shows how long the user has been authenticated, in minutes. A negative number (such as -17 min)
indicates that the user has not authenticated for the duration displayed.
Signal Quality Displays the average signal quality the user experienced.
Usage Displays the average bandwidth consumed by the MAC address.
Goodput The ratio of the total bytes transmitted or received in the network to the total air time required for
transmitting or receiving the bytes. Note that this information is not available for Instant devices
running Instant releases prior to Instant 4.1.0.
Speed The packet and byte counts of data frames successfully transmitted to and received from
associated stations. Note that this information is not available for Instant devices running Instant
releases prior to Instant 4.1.0.
