This list contains both 802.11 devices that are part of the same SSID as the
RLX2-IHx series itself (for example, Minerals) as well as devices that belong
to different SSIDs (for example, Network1 and ProSoftInternal). This list is
updated continuously.

The radio updates this list with each 802.11 packet that is received, whether
from a radio of the same network or one that belongs to another SSID. It can
also see radios from other vendors.

Description
Displays the calculated parent selection cost. The radio evaluates the link it
has to its parent once per second to determine if this link is the best parent to
use. The radio calculates the cost for each entry. The cost calculation is
based not only on the strongest signal, but on several other factors to
provide optimum network communication.
Displays the length of time (in seconds) since the radio last saw a packet
from this MAC address (device).
Displays the number of hops to the Master device. A value of 0 (zero)
appears for non-ProSoft Technology devices.
