l Session - A session is an instance when a client connects to the network.The period of time in which the client
remains connected to the network is typically calculated as a single session. However, if a client roams between APs,
the periods of time the client connected to the different APs may be calculated as separate sessions.
l Unassociated Client Information - Some APs/Controllers have the ability to report the signal strength of visible
clients that are associated to a radio on a neighboring AP. AirWave also uses these signal strength readings to more
accurately place these unassociated clients.
l VisualRF - The AirWave service that calculates location, calculates path loss, and provides floor plan editing
capabilities.
l VisualRF Plan - Makes the planning portions of VisualRF available in an offline software package that does not
require a server. For more information about VisualRF Plan, see "About VisualRF Plan" on page 369.
