The Inventory tab
displays information on the devices managed by RF domain member devices in the
controller, service platform or access point managed network. The Inventory screen
enables an administrator to overview of the number and state of the devices in the
selected RF domain. Information is displayed in easy to read tables and graphs.
To review the RF domain inventory:
Procedure
Select the Inventory
tab.
The RF Domain Inventory screen displays.
RF Domain Screen -
Inventory Tab
Refer to the following RF domain inventory data collected by member
controllers, service platforms or access points:
The Device
Types table displays the devices types populating the
RF domain. The Device Type area displays an exploded pie chart that
displays the type of device and their numbers in the RF domain.
The Radios
by Band table displays a bar graph of RF domain
member device radios classified by their radio band or sensor
dedication. Review this information to assess whether RF domain
member radios adequately support client device traffic
requirements.
The Radios
by Channel table displays pie charts of the different
channels utilized by RF domain member radios. These dedicated
channels should be as segregated as possible from one another to
avoid interference. If too many radios are utilizing a single
channel, consider off-loading radios to non utilized channels to
improve RF domain performance.
The Top 5
Radios by Clients table displays a list of radios
that have the highest number of clients. This list displays the
radio IDs as links that can be selected to display individual radio
information in greater detail.
The WLANs table displays a list of WLANs utilized by RF
domain member devices. The table is ordered by WLAN member device
radio count and their number of connected clients. Use this
information to assess whether the WLAN is overly populated by radios
and clients contributing to congestion.
The Clients
by Band table displays the radio band utilization of
connected RF domain member clients. Assess whether the client band
utilization adequately supports the intended radio deployment
objectives of the connected RF domain member access point
radios.
The Clients
by Channels table displays a bar-graph of wireless
clients classified by their frequency. Information for each channel
is further classified by their 802.11x band. In the 5GHz channel,
information is displayed classified under 802.11a and 802.11an
bands. In the 2.4 GHz channel, information is displayed classified
under 802.11b, 802.11bg, and 802.11bgn band.
