Rate, Signal, and Status Information
The table under the To and From Station table lists rate, signal, and status
information for the device.
Data rate and signal quality information appears on Station pages for client
devices. On Station pages for access points, this area shows network information
such as system uptime.
• Parent—Displays the system name of the device to which the client, bridge
or repeater is associated. The entry [self] indicates that the device is
associated with this access point.
• Current Rate—Reports the current data transmission rate. If the station is
having difficulty communicating with the access point, this might not be the
highest operational rate.
• Latest Retries—Tally of short and long data retries.
• Next Hop—If repeater access points are used on the network, this field names
the next access point in the repeater chain.
• Operational Rates—The data transmission rates in common between the
access point and the station.
• Latest Signal Strength—Displays the current index of radio signal quality.
The following four fields appear only on the Station page for an access point:
• Stations Associated—Displays, by number and class, all stations associated
with the access point.
• Uptime—Displays the cumulative time the device has been operating since
the last reset.
• Software Version—Displays the version level of Cisco software on the
device.
• Announcement Packets—Total number of Announcement packets since the
device was last reset.
Hops and Timing Information
The table at the bottom of the Station page lists information on the chain of
devices, if any, between the device and the wired LAN, on the monitoring timeout
for the device, and on the time of the most recent system activity.
