Access Point Statistics
An AP8132 sensor module is a USB environmental sensor extension to an AP8132 model access point. It provides a variety of
sensing mechanisms, allowing the monitoring and reporting of the AP8132's radio coverage area. The output of the sensor's
detection mechanisms are viewable using either the Environmental Sensor screen.
To view an AP8132 model access point’s environmental statistics:
1. Select the Statistics menu from the Web UI.
2. Select System from the navigation pane (on the left-hand side of the screen). Expand a RF Domain and select one of its
connected AP8132 access points.
3. Select Environment .
Figure 13-91 Access Point - Environmental Sensor screen (Light tab)
The Light tab displays by default, with additional Temperature, Motion and Humidity tabs available for unique sensor
reporting. Each of these sensor measurements helps the administrator determine whether the immediate deployment area
is occupied by changes in the access point's environment.
4. Refer to the Light table to assess the sensor's detected light intensity within the AP8132 immediate deployment area.
Light intensity is measured by the sensor in lumens. The table displays the Current Light Intensity (lumens) and a 20
Minute Average of Light Intensity (lumens) . Compare these two items to determine whether the deployment location
