Monitoring Mesh Health
Mesh Health monitors the overall health of outdoor and indoor mesh access points, except as noted. Tracking
this environmental information is particularly critical for mesh access points that are deployed outdoors. The
following factors are monitored:
• Temperature—Displays the internal temperature of the mesh access point in Fahrenheit and Celsius
• Heater status—Displays the heater as on or off (AP1500s only).
• AP Up time—Displays how long the mesh access point has been active to receive and transmit.
• CAPWAP Join Taken Time—Displays how long it took to establish the CAPWAP connection.
• CAPWAP Up Time—Displays how long the CAPWAP connection has been active.
Mesh Health information is displayed in the General Properties panel for mesh access points.
