Index
Displays the numerical index (device identifier) used with the device radio. Use this
index (along with the radio name) to differentiate the radio from other device
radios.
Description Displays a user assigned name for the radio.
AP Type Displays the type of Access Point detected. The controllers support Mobility 300,
Mobility 5181 and Mobility 7131 model Access Points.
Type Use the Type to identify whether the radio is 802.11bg and 802.11bgn or 802.11a
and 802.11an.
Adopted Displays the radio's adoption status. If the radio is adopted, a green check
displays. If the radio is not adopted, a red X displays.
Parent AP MAC Address
Displays the Access Point's Ethernet MAC (the device MAC address that is printed
on the casing of the unit). Please do not confuse this BSSID MAC with the Access
Point's Ethernet MAC address.
MAC Address
The Base Radio MAC is the radio's first MAC address when it is adopted by the
Controller.
State
Display the radio's current operational mode. If the radio is set as a Detector AP,
the state is "Detector", otherwise the state is "Normal".
VLAN Displays the name of the VLAN currently used with each Access Point radio.
Desired Channel
When the radio's channel is configured statically, the Actual Channel and Desired
Channel are the same. If using ACS (Automatic Channel Selection), the controller
selects a channel for the radio. The Desired Channel displays "ACS" and the Actual
channel displays the channel selected for the radio. When set to Random, the
applet determines the channel's designation.
AP Manufacturer Displays the kind of AP listed by each index.
Actual Channel When the radio's channel is configured statically, the Actual Channel and Desired
Channel are the same. If using ACS (Automatic Channel Selection), the controller
selects a channel for the radio. The Desired channel displays "ACS" and the Actual
Channel displays the channel selected for the radio.
Desired Power (dBm) Displays the configured power setting in dBm for the selected radio. In most cases,
the Desired Power and Actual Power are the same unless the desired power level
would put the radio's output power outside the accepted regulatory compliance
range.
BSSIDs Displays the BSSIDs used by the displayed radio index.
Actual Power Displays the current power level in dBm for the selected radio. In most cases, the
Desired Power and Actual Power are the same unless the desired power level
would put the radio's output power outside the accepted regulatory compliance
range.
Placement When the radio is adopted using the default configuration, the power for the radio
can be defined as "Indoor" or "Outdoor." However, some countries have
restrictions for the use of outdoor radios. If using a value of "Outdoor" verify it is in
compliance with the country of operation's regulatory restrictions.
AP IP Address Displays the AP's IP address.
Last Adopted
Displays the time this radio was last adopted by the controller.
