MAC Address Displays the MAC address of the AP that reported the tag.
Vendor Displays the vendor of the tag (Aeroscout, PanGo and Newbury)—display all or filter by type.
Battery Level
Displays battery information—filterable in drop-down menu at the top of the column; is not
displayed for Aeroscout tags.
Chirp Interval
Displays the tag chirp frequency or interval, filterable from the drop-down menu at the top of
the column. Note that the chirp interval from the RFID tag influences the battery life of active
tags as well as search times. If a tag chirps with very long chirp interval, it may take longer time
for the location engine to accurately measure x and y coordinates.
Last Seen Date and time the tag was last reported to AirWave.
Closest Device
The device that last reported the tag to the controller (linked to the AP monitoring page in
AirWave).

l To edit the name of the tag, or to add notes to the tag's record, select the pencil icon next to the entry in the list. You
can then add or change the name and add notes like Maternity Ward Inventory or Chicago Warehouse, as two
examples.
l The Inactive Tag trigger can be used to generate an alert if a tag is not reported to AirWave after a certain interval.
This can help to identify lost or stolen inventory. For more information about enabling this trigger, refer to the
section "Monitoring and Supporting AirWave with the System Pages" on page 216.
Evaluating and Diagnosing User Status and Issues
If a WLAN user reports difficulty with the wireless network, the administration or Helpdesk personnel can view and
process related user information from the Client Detail and Diagnostic pages. This section describes these two pages.
l "Evaluating User Status with the Clients > Client Detail Page" on page 249
l "Evaluating Client Status with the Clients > Diagnostics Page" on page 253
Evaluating User Status with the Clients > Client Detail Page
The Clients > Client Detail page is a focused subtab that becomes visible when you select a specific WLAN user.
Access the Clients > Client Detail page by selecting the MAC Address link for a specific user from one of the
following pages:
l Clients > Connected
l Clients > All
l Home > Search page results or search field Client results that display the user MAC address
This page provides information for the wireless device, signal quality, and bandwidth consumption. It also includes AP
association history and current association status. If VisualRF is enabled in AMP Setup > General, this page provides a
graphical map of the user location and facility information. Finally, this page allows you to specify a client as a
"Watched" client to be included on a watched list. A watched list is a useful method for tracking performance metrics for
selected clients. For example, you might have a regular user who cites repeated connectivity issues when moving from
one room to another. Adding this client to a watched list allows you to more easily track this and other watched clients.
The Clients > Overview page provides information on speed and SNR trends for all watched clients.
Figure 150 illustrates the contents of Clients > Client Details page.
