Description
Shows the MAC address of the neighboring access point.
A MAC address is a hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a network.
Two-Radio APs
If the access point that is "doing the detecting" of neighboring APs is a two-radio access point, the Radio field is
included.
The Radio field indicates which radio the neighboring AP was detected on:
• wlan0 (Radio One)
• wlan1 (Radio Two)
One-Radio APs
This field is not included on the Neighboring Access Points pages of one-radio access points.
Shows the Beacon interval being used by this access point.
Beacon frames are transmitted by an access point at regular intervals to announce the existence of the wireless
network. The default behaviour is to send a beacon frame once every 100 milliseconds (or 10 per second).
The Beacon Interval is set on the Manage > 802.11 Advanced Settings tab page. (See Chapter 16: "Configuring
802.11 Radio Settings".)
A hexadecimal number which, when converted to binary, indicates each
