If you select "Wireless Client View" from the dropdown menu on Floor Map Details, the screen switches to the Wireless Client View screen.
This lists all connected/disconnected/failed clients for all wireless bands on the floor and you can see the APs to which the connected wireless clients belong.
If an individual radio band is selected from the radio band drop-down list in the header, you can also change the "drawing mode" for the heatmap in the floor map control.
For more information on the heatmap view format for each drawing mode, see "Floor map details [radio status view]".

> Note

> > When the heat map view is enabled, screen rendering may take some time.
> > Adjust the update interval of the "Floor MAP (Wireless Client)" in the "User management" screen accordingly.

If a custom icon is not defined to the MAC address, by default, the Vista Manager EX's Unidentified device icon (with a question symbol) will be applied. If the client does not yet appear on the Vista Manager EX's "Network Map" (for example, right after the client connects to the AP), a note PC icon will be applied temporarily. In the upper right corner of the icon, the received signal strength (RSSI) from the wireless client is indicated by the number of bars.
