Name :

• Name assigned to the APs in the Site.
• Name is by default the Serial number of the APs.
• Click on the AP drop down menu to change the AP name.
• This name field reflects in the switch LLDP information through DHCP options.

State :

• Displays the current state of the APs.
• There are 4 possible states an AP can be in, at any given time.

• Offline
• Synchronizing
• Active
• Restarting

State Duration :

• The State Duration shows how long an AP is in it's respective state.
• To get more insights on State / State Duration, refer to the below post.

MAC Address :

• Displays the MAC address of the APs in the Site.

IP Address :

• Displays the IP address of the APs in the site.
• The IP address assignment could either be through DHCP process or Static IP assignment.
• In addition to the IP address, the subnet of the AP is represented in Slash Notation.
• It is not mandatory to have all the APs in a site to have an IP address in the same subnet. (Split Site / Site in Router Mode).

Serial Number :

• Displays the Serial Number of the APs in the Site.

Clients 2.4GHz / Clients 5GHz:

• This field contains the number of Clients connected to the 2.4GHz / 5GHz respectively.
• The count is linked to the Clients tab to view the details of the clients connected to the AP's Network. 

Clients :

• This field contains overall number of clients connected to both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radio per AP.
• The count is linked to the Clients tab to view the details of the clients connected to the APs.

Channel 2.4GHz / Channel 5GHz :

• Displays the current channel in which the AP's radio is broadcasting.
• The channel assignment for the APs is fully automated and is taken care by ARM (Adaptive Radio Management).
• It is not possible to assign a static channel to an AP.

Utilization 2.4GHz / Utilization 5GHz:

• Displays the utilization of channel in the environment in which the AP’s 2.4GHz / 5GHz radios are broadcasting in, respectively.
• Each AP will have its own perspective on it's current channel’s utilization based on the AP’s location, interference, wireless density etc.
• Lower the channel utilization, better is that respective channel for usage.
• It is expected to have high channel utilization on 2.4GHz when compared to 5GHz due to the less number of non-overlapping channels.
