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:
Go to Dashboard → Summary → System.
Select and
expand an RF domain. The Inventory tab displays by default
Select the
Inventory tab.
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.
