## Floor Map [Associated Client View]

If you select "Associated Client View" from the dropdown menu on Floor Map Details, the screen switches to the Associated Client View screen.
If AWC was able to estimate the location of the associated clients, then this view shows the clients' estimated locations on the Floor Map. This is called the Associated Client Location Estimation display. If AWC was not able to estimate the location of the associated clients, then this view shows the clients arranged near their associated AP, to show affiliation. This is called the Client Association View display. These display optiions may be mixed, so that the Associated Client View screen shows a mix of location estimation and affiliation display for connected clients.

### Client Location Estimation View

The position estimated from the radio wave of the associated client detected by the AP is reflected in the coordinates on the Floor Map and displayed.
This can occur when all of the following conditions are met:

- The wireless client has connected to a Channel Blanket VAP.
- "Client Location Estimation History" is enabled in System Settings.
- Location information is calculated by the Associated Client Location Estimation function.

If any of these conditions are not met, Client Association View will be displayed instead.

> Note

> > Client Location Estimation is available on this version of the AWC Plug-in combined with AT-TQ5403/5403e firmware version 6.0.1-1.x or later.

> Note

> > When using the Client Location Estimation View, set the floor map dimensions (vertical / horizontal) correctly and match AP placement with the actual environment.

> Note

> > System clocks on all the managed APs and the server running the AWC Plug-in must be synchronized.

### Associated Client History View

In the Associated Client View, by checking "Associated Client History View", you can view only clients that were associated with the APs on the floor map during the specified time period.
If the associated client has an estimated location history, the client is displayed using Client Location Estimation History described below. If AWC does not have past estimates of an associated client's location, then this view shows the Associated Client Roaming History. These display options may be mixed, so that the screen shows a mix of location estimation and roaming for connected clients.

> Note

> > When you use Associated Client History with the following wireless APs, please set the log severity of the wireless AP to "information(6)" or higher. If the log severity is set to "debug(7)", this feature will not work.
> > The default value of the log severity of these wireless APs is "information(6)", so if the wireless APs are not configured for logging, this function can still be used.
> > Affected wireless APs: TQ1402/5403/5403e/6602, TQm1402/5403
> > The log severity can be set in the severity of the Syslog client in the AP profile.
> > If you want to use the Associated Client History View with the log function of the Syslog Client disabled, please change "Syslog Client" to "Enable" and "Severity" to "6 : informational" in the AP profile (the Syslog server IP address/host name can be a fictitious address), apply this AP common setting to the wireless AP, and then set "Syslog Client" to "Disable" in the AP profile and apply it again.

#### Client Location Estimation History

The position is estimated every minute from the radio of the associated client and displayed.
This display appears when all of the following conditions are met in the time period specified:

- The wireless client has connected to a Channel Blanket VAP.
- "Client Location Estimation History" is enabled in System Settings.
- Location information is calculated at least once by Associated Client Location Estimation.

If any of these conditions are not met, Client Association Roaming History will be displayed instead.

> Note

> > When using the Client Location Estimation View, set the floor map dimensions (vertical / horizontal) correctly and match AP placement with the actual environment.

> Note

> > System clocks on all the managed APs and the server running the AWC Plug-in must be synchronized.

Section 1

Shows the wireless clients that have been connected to the AP on the map.
When you enter a maximum trace count and select a client from the list, the position of that client is drawn on the floor map.
The client's radio wave will be observed by the APs on the floor every minute, and if enough samples to calculate the location are obtained, the AWC plug-in will calculate the estimated location. The calculation may take several minutes after each observation.
Each estimated location is represented by a circle. The color of the circle represents the reliability of the location estimation (see the legend).
The order and direction of the movement are shown as a broken curve and an arrow head. The curve does not necessarily show the exact path the client moved.
You can hover over each circle to see estimation information as a popup balloon.
