Description

The table has the following columns:

●

Radio
Shows the WLAN interface visible to the access point.

●

SSID
Shows the SSID of the access point.

●

BSSID
Shows the MAC address of the access point.

●

System Name
Shows the system name of the access point. The entry depends on the access point. Not

all access points support this parameter.

●

Channel
Shows the channel on which the access point transmits or communicates.

●

Signal Strength [dBm]
Shows the signal strength of the access point in bBm.

●

Signal strength [%]
Shows the signal strength of the access point as a percentage.

●

Type

Shows the mode of the WLAN interface.

●

Security
Shows which authentication method is used.
–

If the authentication method "Open Encryption" or "Shared Key" is used, the

"Encrypted (WEP/AES)" is displayed for both authentication methods.

–

If iPCF, iPCF-HT or iPCF-MC mode is enabled on a WLAN interface, the following is

displayed depending on the encryption status:
iPCF Encrypted (AES): Encryption is enabled.
iPCF authentication: Encryption is disabled.

●

WLAN Mode
Shows the transmission standard. If DFS is activated, the transmission standard

"802.11h" is not shown additionally but only the configured transmission standard

"802.11a" or "802.11n".

●

State
Shows the status of the access point, for example whether or not the access point is

available.
