eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by RZDUserInfoTest

This test auto-discovers the WLAN users who are logged in on the WLANs that are under control of the Ruckus ZoneDirector and reveals the radio type to which each user is associated with. For each user, this test measures the rate at which the packets were transmitted/received, the rate at which the data was transmitted/received, and the rate at which the error packets transmitted/received. In addition, this test reports the number of times the transmission was retried by each user and the amount of data retransmitted by each user after transmission failure. In the process, administrator can also detect the Signal-to-Noise ratio for each user and the strength of signals transmitted/received by each user.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each user on the WLANs that are under control of the target Ruckus ZoneDirector being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Radio_type Indicates the type of radio to which this user is associated with.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Radio11a 0
Radio11b 1
Radio11g 2
Radio11ng 3
Radio11na 4

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the Radio type of this user. The graph of this measure however, represents the type of a rogue device using the numeric equivalents only - 0 and 4.

The detailed diagnosis of this measure provides you the Access point mac address and service set ID (SSID) of the WLAN user.

Transmitted_packet Indicates the rate at which the packets were transmitted by this user. Packets/sec  
Received_packet Indicates the rate at which the packets were received by this user. Packets/sec  
Transmitted_data Indicates the rate at which the data was transmitted by this user. MB/Sec  
Received_data Indicates the rate at which the data was received by this user. MB/Sec  
Drop_packets_transmitted Indicates the rate at which the packets were dropped during transmission. Packets/Sec Ideally, the value of this measure should be zero.
Drop_packet_received Indicates the rate at which the packets were dropped during reception. Packets/sec Ideally, the value of this measure should be zero.
Error_packet_transmitted Indicates the rate at which the error packets were transmitted by this user. Packets/sec Ideally, the values of these measures should be zero. A higher value results in unreliable connection and affects throughput.
Error_packet_Received Indicates the rate at which the error packets were received by this user. Packets/sec
Transmitted_retries Indicates the number of times the transmission was retried by this user after transmission failure. Number  
Transmitted_retrydata Indicates the rate at which the data was retransmitted by this user after transmission failure. MB/Sec  
SignalNoise_ratio Indicates the Signal-to-Noise Ratio for this user. dB Ideally, the value of this measure should be high.
Signal_strength Indicates the signal strength of this user. dBm_negative Ideally, the value of this measure should be high. Since stronger signal strength results in more reliable communication and higher speeds.
