Associations
Displays the number of non-bridge wireless connections to this radio.
Client or Bridging Client radios that are connected always show 1 in this
column (and 0 in the Bridges column).
Bridges
Displays the number of non-bridge wireless connections to this radio.
Client or Bridging Client radios that are connected always show 1 in this
column (and 0 in the Bridges column).
Tx (kbits/sec)
Displays a moving average of transmit throughput in kilobits/second. It
does not count packet overhead, and only counts payload data. For
Repeater radios, this shows the throughput only for the radio link to the
Parent radio. For Master radios, this is the throughput sum of all the
Master's radio links.
Rx (kbits/sec)
Displays a moving average of receive throughput in kilobits/second. It
does not count packet overhead, and only counts payload data. For
Repeater radios, this shows the throughput only for the radio link to the
Parent radio. For Master radios, this is the throughput sum of all the
Master’s radio links.
FW Ver
Displays the firmware version number.
For IH Browser entries, this is the version of the IH Browser itself.
For radios, this is the version of the firmware code in the radio. This is
not the version of the image file installed into the radio (for that
information see
I
MAGE
V
ER
described below).
Boot Ver
Displays the boot loader code version number.
For IH Browser entries, this is the version of the network
communication engine in the IH Browser (e.g. WinXP, WinVista).
For radios, this is the version of the boot loader code in the radio.
Image
Displays the type of the firmware image that the radio is currently running
(
P
RIMARY
or
S
ECONDARY
). Each radio has two copies of operating firmware
installed, and the radio will automatically switch from one to the other if
one of them becomes corrupted.
Compression
Displays the compression state of the firmware images in the radio
(
C
OMPRESSED
or
U
NCOMPRESSED
).
Ethernet
Displays the Ethernet status for the radio.
A
TTACHED
- The radio is connected to a wired Ethernet network.
D
ETACHED
- The radio is not connected to a wired Ethernet network.
Channel/Width
Displays the operating channel and channel width. The width value is
always 20MHz except on 802.11n devices where it can be 20MHz or
40MHz.
Example:
48,
20
MH
Z
for channel 48 with a 20 MHz channel width.
Security
Displays the encryption type setting for the radio. Some valid settings are
AES
,
TKIP
,
AES&TKIP
,
WEP128
TKIP
,
WEP128
,
WEP64
.
Misses
Displays the number of times the IH Browser has failed to receive a
response from the device after a scan. Ideally this number should always
be zero.
RSTP
Displays the setting for RSTP in the radio (
E
NABLED
,
D
ISABLED
, and
STP
).
The STP state is a legacy "non-rapid" Spanning Tree mode that the radio
automatically uses if it detects a peer wired bridge in STP mode. All radios
on a network must have the same RSTP state to link properly.
Link Time
Displays the link time of the device; for example 24d,13h,10m,32s. This
time resets to zero on a Roam, or if the link is dropped and re-established
with the same Parent radio.
Tx Rate
Displays the current modulation data rate that the radio is using for
transmission. This may be slower than the configured nominal rate
because of retries or other environmental factors.
For 802.11a/b/g devices, the data rate is expressed in kilobits or
megabits per second (for example, 54Mb/s).
For 802.11n devices, the data is expressed in MCS rates from 0 to 15
(for example, MCS7).
