## Client (MU) Statistics

Client statistics (also referred to as Mobile Units) provide information on devices associated with the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Access Point. The statistics include information on data sent and received, activity, and association. A client shows only in the Home/Foreign Agent Table screens when a client has roamed to another access point on a different subnet. Once a client has roamed, the client IP Address displays on the Home Agent Table screen of the client "home" access point with the IP Address of the Foreign Agent to tell the "home" access point where to forward packets.

The client IP Address is also shown in the Foreign Agent Table and Regular screens of the new "foreign" access point to tell the new access point where to expect packets from for newly associated clients. The access point Regular screen shows the clients associated locally on the same subnet.

### Display clients on subnet

#### Web Interface

1. Click the Mobile Units Menu at the left side of the screen to display three options: Known Mobile Units, Home Agents, Foreign Agents.
2. Click Known Mobile Units.
3. Click Start Refresh to update the values on the screen.
4. When finished, click Stop Refresh.

#### Management Interface

1. Select Show Mobile Units from the Main Menu.
2. Three options are displayed near the bottom of the screen: Regular, Home Agent, Foreign Agent.
3. Use the TAB or arrow keys to select Regular from the Mobile Units prompt and press ENTER.

The display shows the currently associated clients listed by MAC address.
The list appears as follows:

     addr [p:i:#:e:V]

where:

addr | client MAC address in xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx format
p | clients power mode: P for PSP, C for CAM. An unassociated client does not display any character.
i | client location on access point interfaces. R for radio, P for PPP. Clients with an A were associated with the access point in the past, but no longer associate with it at time of verifying status.
# | Access point current Radio transmit rate for the messages sent to this client: 11 for 11 Mbps.
e | Encryption is enabled for this device.
V | Indicates an Intel Voice enabled device.

#### Pinging a Client (Management Interface only)

1. To display the Packet Ping Setup screen, press TAB to highlight the client and select Ping. This allows the access point to ping a client.
2. Select Refresh at the status display to update the values manually.
3. Select Next to display the next screen.

### Parameter Descriptions

Interface | The access point interface shows the client connection as: RF , Ethernet , PPP or AP .
State | The connection state between the access point and the client: Host indicates the unit is on the access point or PPP interface Associated indicates the current association on the radio interface Away indicates the unit is no longer associated with the access point.
Power Mode | The client power mode: CAM, PSP or N/A
Station ID | The IEEE 802.11 specification requires that each access point assign a station ID to all associated clients, regardless of the client power mode. (PSP or CAM)
Begin Current Assoc | The time the current association begins in hours, minutes and seconds
Supported Rates | Data transmission rates the station supports
Current Xmt Rate | The current rate the access point transmits data to the station
Priority | Indicates whether the client is a voice or data type device. Voice indicates packet delivery is time critical and a high priority. Normal indicates packet delivery is not time critical.
Encryption | client encryption support: On or Off
Packets Sent | The packets sent by the access point to the client
Packets Rcvd | The packets received by the access point from the client
Bytes Sent | The bytes sent by the access point to the client
Bytes Rcvd | The bytes received by the access point from the client
Discard Pkts/CRC | The packets discarded because of data error
Last Activity | The time in hours, minutes and seconds since the last communication with the client
Last Data Activity | The time in hours, minutes and seconds since the last data transfer
