Detailed Radio Configuration / Diagnostics RLX2 Series ♦ 802.11a, b, g, n
User Manual Industrial Hotspot
6.1 Radio Status
The general radio status fields appear at the top of the Radio Configuration
window.
Note: Different versions of the RLX2 Radios support different functionality. There may be more or
fewer options on this page, depending on the version of the radio.
Use the settings in the Radio Status panel to view the current settings for this
radio.
Field
Description
Radio Name
Name of the selected radio.
Radio MAC
MAC address of the selected radio. The MAC ID is also printed on the
side of the radio.
Radio Type
Model of RLX2 radio –Examples: RLX2-IHA, RLX2-IHG, RLX2-IHNF, or
RLX2-IHW.
Firmware
Version of firmware currently installed. All radios on the network must
have the same firmware versions installed to guarantee proper
operations. For more information on firmware versions, refer to Update
firmware (page
93).
Update every
Value in seconds controls how often the web configuration form
automatically refreshes. To change the value temporarily, enter the new
value and press the [Tab] key. To change the value permanently, enter
the new value and press the [Enter] key.
Up Time
Length of time the radio has operated since the last system power-up or
last system reset.
CPU Temp
Temperature of the CPU board inside the radio.
Signal Strength
Strength of the signal from the Parent radio.
Parent MAC
MAC address of the parent radio to which the selected radio is linked.
Branch Length
Number of RF links from the radio to the master radio.
# Radios Linked
Number of other radios that are linked to this radio.
Current Channel
Channel upon which the radio is currently operating. For Repeaters and
Clients, this is the channel in use to communicate to their parent radio.
For a Master radio, this may not match the channel selected by the user
if the radio has changed channels because radar was detected. See
section
