Item Name	Description
Management Group / Floor Map Group	The floor map name and the management group of the selected floor map will be displayed.
"Spanner" icon	Hovering the mouse cursor over the Spanner icon shows a dropdown menu including some operations for managed APs. Select APs by checking on the AP list or clicking the AP icons on the floormap, you can then configure the selected APs. You cannot perform Apply Settings, Reboot, Assign Firmware, or Upgrade Firmware in Smart Connect view. AWC Calculate and Apply: Perform AWC calculation and apply the results to all APs in the management group which the current floor map belongs to.
Radio dropdown menu	Disabled in Smart Connect View.
View Selection dropdown menu	Lets you change what information is displayed on the Floor Map Details screen. Wireless Status View Wireless Client Smart Connect View Rogue AP View Add AP to Map Edit Area Edit Wall
"Back to list" button	Click to return to the Floor Map List screen.

Section 2

The icon of the wireless AP displays its role in AWC-SC.
- Root AP:
  Shown by a wired AP icon.
- Satellite AP (Connector AP or Terminator AP)
  Shown by an icon of the AP connected by radio.
The following icons will be displayed if the definition in the SC Profile and the actual AP behavior are inconsistent:
- Acting as a Satellite AP in spite of being defined as a Root AP
  The UTP cable may be not wired up.
- Acting as a Root AP in spite of being defined as a Satellite AP
  A UTP cable may be still connected unintentionally.
- Not acting as an AWC-SC member AP
  The AP may not be under management, the firmware may not be up to date, or the required license may not have been applied.
You can see the logical connections between the wireless APs by selecting "Topology" from the "Drawing Mode" dropdown menu in the floor map control.
In Topology drawing mode, the link between wireless APs is drawn with a gray line.
When "Healthiness Icon" in the floor map control is checked, the radio wave strength will be indicated by the number of ripples in the balloon of the Healthiness Icon.

Table 2: Healthiness Icons
Number of bars Power

4 -57dBm or greater

3 -62 to -58dBm

2 -69 to -63dBm

1 -79 to -70dBm

0 -80dBm or less
You can see the traffic utilization between the wireless APs by selecting "Traffic" from the "Drawing Mode" dropdown menu in the floor map control.
In the Traffic drawing mode, the link line is divided in the middle, and each half depicts the utilization rate from the AP linked directly. For example, in the link between AP1 and AP2, the half nearer to AP1 shows the transmission utilization rate from AP1 to AP2, and the half nearer to AP2 shows transmission from AP2 to AP1.

The color of the half link indicates the utilization rate.
The utilization rate is calculated based on the link speed and the amount of traffic between the APs.
- Light blue: 0 to 25%
- Green: 25 to 50%
- Yellow: 50 to 75%
- Red: 75 to 100%

Table 3: Smart Connect AP List
Item Name	Description
Details	Clicking this shows Acceptor and Connector Tx / Rx Bytes per second and tags, in addition to the default items (Device Name, SC Status, and MAC Address). Clicking Details again returns you to the default non-detailed view.
X AP	Shows the number of wireless APs placed on the floor map. This includes APs on which Smart Connect is not enabled or available.
Refresh Timer	The elapsed time since the last auto-update in the list and the time remaining until the next auto-update are displayed in a gray progress bar. The list is automatically refreshed at the interval configured on "Refresh Rates" > "Floor MAP (Smart Connect)" in the User Management menu. (The default is 5 seconds.) You can also specify whether to pause or resume automatic updates by clicking Resume/Pause automatic update button on the right, or force the wireless client list to be updated by clicking the Manual update button.
Search Wireless AP	The Search field lets you enter a partial string to match. The screen displays entries with that string in one of the following fields: "Device Name", "SC Status", or "MAC Address" fields. To remove the filter, delete the string from the Search field and press Enter. Note The search is case-sensitive.
Device Name	Shows the name given to the AP.
SC Status	Shows the AP's role in AWC-SC. Root: This AP acts as a Root AP, which provides uplinks to the wired backbone network and wireless downlinks to devices such as clients, Connector APs, and Terminator APs. Connector: This AP acts as a Connector AP, which is a bridge providing wireless uplinks to the Root AP and wireless downlinks to clients or Terminator APs. Terminator: This AP acts as a Terminator AP, which provides wireless uplinks to Root or Connector APs and wireless downlinks to clients. Unknown: The AWC-SC connection is not established. Alternatively, Smart Connect is not enabled on the AP.
MAC Address	Shows the device's MAC address.

Section 4

In the Smart Connect View, "Power Limit" is does not apply and is disabled.
Also, when the drawing mode is "Topology", "Legend" will be disabled, and when the drawing mode is "Traffic", the "Healthiness Icon" will be disabled.
