Max (AP Scan Table) and Max/Min Rate (AP Details)
: Maximum and Minimum Phy rate in Mbps supported by the SSID.
Channel:
Channel number used by the SSID. Channels 1 to 13 are in the 2.4 GHz band. Channels 36 to 165 are in the 5
GHz frequency band. If channel bonding is used with 40 MHz or 80 MHz channel width, “+” is displayed next to the main
channel number. Tap on
Details
to view additional channels.
Lock icon:
Indicates the status of the SSID’s security configuration.
No Security enabled on SSID
WEP Security enabled on SSID
WPA or WPA2 enabled on SSID
Signal Bar icon:
Indicates Received Signal level status.
Signal Level < -70 dBm
-70 dBm < Signal Level < -60 dBm
-60 dBm < Signal Level < -50 dBm
-50 dBm < Signal Level < -40 dBm
Signal Level > -40 dBm
Signal Level:
Received Signal Level from the SSID measured in dBm. If Signal Level threshold is enabled in the
Measurement setup menu, the color (
Green
/
Yellow
/
Red
) reflects the threshold crossing status in the
AP Details
window.
Noise Level:
Noise Level measured on the channel in dBm. If Noise Level threshold is enabled in the Measurement
setup menu, the color (
Green
/
Yellow
/
Red
) reflects the threshold crossing status in the
AP Details
window.
SNR:
Signal to Noise Ratio for the SSID measured in dB. If Signal to Noise Ratio threshold is enabled in the
Measurement setup menu, the color (
Green
/
Yellow
/
Red
) reflects the threshold crossing status in the
AP Details
window.
# Clients:
Number of clients associated to the SSID. Note that not all APs report this information. If this information is not
reported by the AP, the field displays N/A.
BSS Load:
Basic Service Set traffic load as reported by the AP and its associated clients. Note that not all APs report this
information. If this information is not reported by the AP, the field displays N/A.
The
Details
function key provides these additional measurements:
Vendor
: AP’s manufacturer name. If this information is not reported by the AP, the field is blank.
Channel:
Channel number used by the SSID. Channels 1 to 13 are in the 2.4 GHz band. Channels 36 to 165 are in the 5
GHz frequency band. If channel bonding is used with 40 MHz or 80MHz channel, then all channel numbers are listed.
Security:
SSID’s security protocol.
Co-channel
: Number of SSIDs detected configured on the same channel.
Overlapping
: Number of SSIDs detected whose bandwidth overlaps with the current channel.
Country code
: Country Code advertised by the AP. This field is set to N/A if the AP does not advertise a country code.
Reported Clients
: Number of clients connected to the AP as reported by the AP. This field is blank if the AP does not
report the number of clients.
Guard Interval
: Interval between consecutive transmissions. Legacy guard interval is 800ns. Short guard interval is 400ns.
Channel Width:
Legacy 802.11 channel width is 20 MHz. 802.11n allows 20 MHz or 40 MHz channel width. 802.11ac
allows 20 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz or 160 MHz channel width.
Number of streams:
802.11n and 802.11ac using MIMO technology, allow multiple data streams (also called spatial
streams). 802.11n allows up to 4 data streams. 802.11ac allows up to 8 spatial streams.
7.1.4 AP Scan Details Window
Selecting an SSID from the AP Scan Table and pressing the
Details
key opens up a pop-up window. Fields displayed on the
Details window may or may not be present depending on the information being advertised by the AP.
Press the
