Connection Summary Report

Connections by Type are displayed in a pie chart and the success rate by each network type is displayed in a bar graph. You can also view a table of the connections by network type and their rate of success by clicking the Switch View icon in the top-right corner.

Connections by Type

Each network type is color coded and they include: MBB/3G (Mobile Broadband connections), Ethernet, DSL, Dial, and Wi-Fi (which is split into three types: Wi-Fi Paid for all paid iPass networks, Wi-Fi OpenAccess for all OpenAccess connections, and Wi-Fi Other for all other Wi-Fi connections).

Connection Success Rate

Each network type has two bars, green for success rate and red for the error rate. If All connections is selected in the search, the green (success) bar is split into two types of connections: dark green for client-initiated (connections initiated by the Open Mobile client) and light green for Inherited (connections inherited by Open Mobile from the native connection client).

Switch View
