4.2.2 Radio 

1 

The following fields appear in the Radio Status area of the Main Configuration 
page.  

 

 

Note:

 Each Radio's configuration is unique. If the hardware supports two radios, there will be two 

instances of the Radio Configuration/Status area, one per radio. 

 
For advanced radio configuration, click the Radio tab (page 59). 
 

Parameter Description 

Link Status 



Master

: The radio is configured as a Master. 



Connected

currently connected 



Connecting

: The radio is attempting to connect to a Parent 



Disconnected

: The radio is unable to connect to a Parent 

Parent 

The MAC address of the parent radio, if connected 

Link Time 

The amount of time the parent link has been active 

RSSI 

The received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value in dBm from the 
parent link; this is a measurement of how strong the connected parent's 
signal is as seen by this device. 

SNR 

This is the signal to noise ratio of the parent link. 

Current Channel 

The frequency channel used by the parent link, if connected 

11h status 

Select this check box to enable 802.11h dynamic frequency detection 
when operating in the 5 GHz band. 

Radar event 

If 802.11h is enabled, this field indicates if a radar event has been
