Wireless Client Session Details report reveals a chart displaying a wireless client as it moves through different access points in the network. This chart plots the client device as it moves from wireless access point to wireless access point over time. Each access point is represented by a line on the y-axis with each connection represented by a segment on that line. The report also includes a Session Summary grid below the chart reporting the following:
- AP. The name assigned to the access point to which the client device is connected.
- First Seen. The date and time the client device connected to the access point.
- Rx Avg. The average amount of data received by the client device from the access point during the session.
- Tx Avg. The average amount of data transmitted by the client device to the access point during the session.
- % Connected. The amount of time the client device was connected to the access point during the selected date range.
The following additional columns are visible when the Wireless Client Session Details report is expanded to full screen view:
- IP. The IP Address of the selected wireless client.
- SSID. The service set identifier to which the client device is connected.
- Radio Type. The classification of physical device broadcasting the SSID.
- Last Seen. The date and time the client device disconnected from the access point.
