Verify Your Wireless Client Session on the AP
The Devicescape Enterprise-Managed AP provides real-time session monitoring information including which clients are associated with a particular access point, data rates, transmit/receive statistics, signal strength, and idle time.
If you have one or more wireless clients currently connected to the access point, you should see these show up as client sessions on the Session Monitoring tab.
To view session monitoring information, click the Network > Sessions tab.
Understanding Session Monitoring Information
The Sessions page shows the stations associated with access points in the cluster.
A "session" in this context is the period of time in which a user on a client device (station) with a unique MAC address maintains a connection with the wireless network. The session begins when the client logs on to the network, and the session ends when the client either logs off intentionally or loses the connection for some other reason.

Note
|
A session is not the same as an association, which describes a client connection to a particular access point. A client network connection can shift from one clustered AP to another within the context of the same session. A client station can roam between APs and maintain the session.
|
Details about each session are shown including User Name (for clients that are connected to APs using IEEE 802.1x security mode and local authentication server), AP location, MAC address, Data Rate and so forth.
Where to Find Out More
