Field Description
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 64.
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 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 AirWave provide the
RADIUS Accounting Auth type
l WPA2—Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 encryption
l No Encryption
AirWave considers all other types as not authenticated.
The information 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
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 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.
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.
Location
Displays the VisualRF box that allows users to view features including heatmap for a device
and location history for a user.
