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.

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.
