Using the Device Summary Report
The Device Summary Report identifies devices that are the most or least used devices, and a comprehensive list
of all devices. One potential use of this report is to establish more equal bandwidth distribution across multiple
devices. This report contains the following five lists of devices.
 Most Utilized by Maximum Number of Simultaneous Users—By default, this list displays the 10 devices that
support the highest numbers of users. This list provides links to additional information or configuration pages
for each device to make adjustments, as desired.
 Most Utilized by Bandwidth—By default, this list displays the 10 devices that consistently have the highest
bandwidth consumption during the time period defined for the report. This list provides links to additional
information or configuration pages for each device.
 Least Utilized by Maximum Number of Simultaneous Users—By default, this list displays the 10 devices that
are the least used, according to the number of users.
 Least Utilized by Bandwidth—By default, this list displays the 10 devices that are the least used, according to
the bandwidth throughput.
 Devices—This list displays all devices in AirWave. By default it is sorted alphabetically by device name.
Any section of this report can be sorted by any of the columns. For example, you can specify a location and then
sort the Devices list by the Location column to see details by location, or you can see all of the APs associated
with a particular controller by sorting on the Controller column. If the AP name contains information about the
location of the AP, you can sort by AP name.
If sorting the Devices list does not provide you with sufficient detail, you can specify a Group or Folder in the
report Definition of a custom report. If you create a separate Group or Folder for each set of master and local
controllers, you can generate a separate report for each Group or Folder. With this method, the summary sections
of each report contain only devices from that Group or Folder.
