Overlays
Use the Overlays menu to configure and display the data overlays. Click an overlay name to display that overlay data
on the floor plan. Click the arrow beside an overlay to configure additional options for that overlay type.
l AppRF - The AppRF overlay shows data usage and the applications in use by user and device. The overlay uses
colors to show usage thresholds. To see the specific usage values, mouse over the client icon. The threshold colors
that show the usage categories are preset and can be edited:
n Green: Client has used between 0 and 20 MB in the past two hours.
n Yellow: Client has used between 20 MB and 1GB in the past two hours.
n Red: Client has used more than 1 GB in the past two hours.
l Ch. Utilization - View how much airtime is used in the environment. Airtime usage is a good measure of how busy
an area is. When you select this option, a new Data Set menu appears where you can select the Current or Maximum
Total, Receive, Transmit, or Interference information to display on the floor plan.
l Channel - Identifies the channel coverage by identifying regions covered by specific channels, or regions with
overlapping coverage on one selected channel or all channels in the 2.4 Ghz or 5 Ghz radio band. Mouse over
highlighted coverage areas for details about the APs
l Client Health - Determine client health using this overlay. This option is available for controllers running Dell
Networking W-Series ArubaOS 6.3 or greater. For more information on how this value is calculated, see "Useful
Terms" on page 323.
l Heatmap - Evaluate AP coverage based on AP transmission signal strength by providing the latest dBm (energy
level) for all areas of a floor plan. When this option is selected, the Signal Cutoff drop-down menu displays. From
this drop-down, you can select a common cutoff value or you can specify a custom value.
l Speed - Evaluate coverage based on transmit power of client by providing the highest data rate a user will receive for
all areas of a floor plan. When this option is selected, the Client Transmit Power drop-down menu displays. Use the
additional configuration options to select a transmit power value for the overlay. Additionally, a Rates section
appears enabling you to select either rates from 54 Mbps to 1 Gbps.
