In addition, heat map is drawn with colors representing the reach and strength of the channel or signal. The drawing mode of the heat map can be selected from the floor map control. Note Even between wireless APs operating at the same radio strength, the size of output circle on the heat map may vary depending on the installation location and other factors. If the AP is not managed by the AWC Plug-in, does not affect the floor map.
Wireless AP Icon | AP icons placed on the map is shown. If "AP Name" is checked in the floor map controls, the AP name is displayed above the AP icon. The current status is displayed under the icon of the AP under the AWC Plug-in management. Radio signals being output in the selected radio band: Simplified display of current status depending on whether a connected wireless client is present. When one or more wireless clients are connected to the AP: In the format "[current channel]ch([radio usage]%), [radio strength]%, [number of clients] client(s)" (For example, "7ch(50%), 100%, 2 clients") When no wireless client is connected to the AP: In the format "[current channel]ch([radio usage]%), [radio strength]%" (For example, "7ch(50%), 100%") When Wireless Concierge AP Thinning is enabled and the AP in question is subject to thinning: Shown as "Standby". The AP in question is not providing radio output in the radio band being displayed. If the radio transmission is stopped by the Wireless AP Individual Configuration: Shown as "Stop". The AP in question is not providing radio output in the radio band being displayed. When you place your mouse cursor on an AP, management information of the AP will pop up. AP Name MAC Address IP Address Used channels, bandwidth, and output strength of the currently displayed radio band. Number of Clients Last failed at (date and time last out of control)
Rogue AP Icon | If Unmanaged AP Detection is enabled, this represents the estimated location of the unmanaged APs that are particularly impacting. When you hover the mouse pointer over the icon, the SSID, BSSID, channel, radio strength (RSSI), and detection time sent out by the concerned unmanaged AP will pop up.

Wifi Signal Stability: Optimal degree of AP placement, signal output, and channel settings. Higher value indicates proper placement and configuration of APs. Airtime Capacity: Degree of airtime utilization. Higher value indicates less communication relative to the radio communication bandwidth. The color of the entire graph indicates the comfort level of the entire floor or, when a specific location is clicked, the comfort level of the specified location. By clicking on each parameter in the graph, you can exclude or re-include the relevant parameter from evaluation in the heat-map display. The parameter name excluded from evaluation is grayed out. If the comfort level is low, hover the mouse pointer over the caution icon on the left side of the title to see suggestions for improvement.
