Neighboring Access Points

Through "Neighboring AP List" you can confirm the real-time statistics of All APs within the range of AP showing on the administrator's Web page.


Item	Description
MAC Address	Shows the MAC address of a neighboring AP. MAC address is a Hardware address, which is a unique identifier depending on network nodes.
Radio	Two-Radio APs If an AP searching neighboring APs is Two-radio AP, the relevant AP can be confirmed in this page. Radio item informs the Radio searching neighboring APs. wlan0 (Radio One) wlan1 (Radio Two) One-Radio APs This item does not appear in the neighboring AP list of One-radio AP.
Beacon Interval	Shows Beacon interval used in the AP. AP transfers a Beacon frame at a regular interval to report the presence of radio Network. In default, the AP transfers a Beacon frame per 100 m/sec (or 10 frames per second). Users can set the Beacon interval in Manage > Radio item. (See Configuring Radio Settings.)
Type	Shows device types. AP indicates a device that that supports IEEE 802.11 Wireless Networking Framework of Infrastructure Mode. Ad hoc indicates a terminal that is operating in Ad hoc Mode. Terminals are set as the ad hoc mode for direct communication with other terminals without general AP. The Ad-hoc mode is IEEE 802.11 Wireless Networking Framework called peer-to-peer mode or Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS).
SSID	Service Set Identifier of AP. SSID is a unique identifier of radio LAN and a alphabetical string with at most 32 letters. SSID has the same meaning as Network Name. SSID can be set in the Basic Settings menu (see Configuring Basic Settings) or Manage > Wireless Settings menu (see Setting the Wireless Interface.) The Guest Network and the Internal Network operating at the same AP should have different two-SSID.
Privacy	Tells if peripheral devices use the security policy. Off indicates that the security mode of the peripheral device is set as "None" (no security). On indicates that the peripheral device uses the security policy. Users can set the security policy of AP in the Security menu. For more information on security setting, refer to Configuring Security.
WPA	Tells whether AP sets the security mode as "on" or "off".
Band	Tells IEEE 802.11 mode used in AP (for example, IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, and IEEE 802.11g.) The values that can be checked by this item are as follows: 2.4 indicates IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g mode. 5 indicates IEEE 802.11a mode. 5 Turbo indicates Atheros Turbo 5 GHz mode.
Channel	Shows the current channel of AP. Channel means a part of the Radio Spectrum that radio uses for data exchange. Channel can be set in the Radio Settings menu (see Configuring Radio Settings.)
Rate	Shows the current transfer rate (Mbps) for AP. The current rate is one of the transfer rate always listed in the Supported Rates entry.
Signal	Indicates the intensity (dB) of a signal emitted by AP.
# of Beacons	Shows the number of all Beacon frames transferred after the latest booting of AP.
Last Beacon	Shows the date and time of the Beacon frame that AP has most recently transferred.
Rates	Shows the supported rate set and basic (advertised) rate set that neighboring AP supports. Its unit is megabits per second (Mbps). All supported rates are listed and basic rates are displayed as bold. The transfer rate can be set in the Radio Settings menu (see Configuring Radio Settings.) The displayed transfer rate of AP is a transfer rate listed in the Radio Settings menu of the relevant AP.
