Parameter
Description
Cost
Displays the calculated parent selection cost. The radio evaluates the link it
has to its parent once per second to determine if this link is the best parent to
use. The radio calculates the cost for each entry. The cost calculation is
based not only on the strongest signal, but on several other factors to
provide optimum network communication.
Age(s)
Displays the length of time (in seconds) since the radio last saw a packet
from this MAC address (device).
Hops
Displays the number of hops to the Master device. A value of 0 (zero)
appears for non-ProSoft Technology devices.
This list contains both 802.11 devices that are part of the same SSID as the RLX2-
IHx series itself (for example,
Minerals
) as well as devices that belong to different
SSIDs (for example,
Network1
and
ProSoftInternal
). This list is updated continuously.
The radio updates this list with each 802.11 packet that is received, whether from a
radio of the same network or one that belongs to another SSID. It can also see
radios from other vendors.
