Connectivity 4.1
The Connectivity webpage displays information on the current connection with either the Client or the Access Point
depending on how it is configured. Wireless information will display the MAC address, IP
address, which interface is being used, the radio data rate, received signal strength (RSSI), authentication status and the
inactive time. The readings displayed are based upon the last received data message from the Client.
Note: When updating the Connectivity webpage, it is necessary to hold down the <ctrl> key while
pressing the refresh button to ensure the most up to date information is displayed.
Connectivity Parameters
Mac Address
Mac address of the connected device.
IP Address
IP Address of the connected device.
Interface
Interface being used for the connection. Will indicate Radio0 Radio5
depending on the interface. Radio0 is the main Network interface and
Radio 1-5 indicates the virtual WDS interfaces.
RATE
Radio Data Rate:
RSSI
The last radio receive signal strength from that site.
Auth
Shows if the modem is authenticated, i.e. modem has the correct SSID
s the modem has the correct SSID but
the wrong Encryption method/key, etc.
Inactive

If the default Run/Setup switch is enabled the radio is disabled and you will not see anythink in the
connectivity list.
s Point can be heard
multiple entries will be displayed as per Figure 65. The table will display certain configuration parameters for each Access
Point, i.e. Mac Address, RSSI, SSID, etc.
To scan for a list of available Access Point, configure the Client with an SSID that is not available for connection, i.e. there
are no Access Points it can connect to. Save the Config and when the module has been restarted the Site Survey will
display a list of Access Points and their RSSI values. This information is useful for determining the best connection if
multiple Access Points are available.
This list is only refreshed when the module starts up and only if the Client is not connected to an
existing Access Point. When the Client does connect to an Access Point it will refresh the scan list
and so only indicate the Access Point it is connected to.
Site Survey Parameters
Mac Address
