SSID
ServiceSetIdentifier(SSID)isanameassignedtoawireless
network.RepeatersandClientsmustbeconfiguredwiththe
sameSSIDtoconnect.NotethatMasterradiostypically
advertisetheirpresencebybroadcastingtheirSSID.
However,SSIDannouncementscanbedisabledsothatother
wirelessdevicesdonotdetectsu
chMasters,IfaMasteris
nottransmittingitsSSID,thisfieldwillindicateHiddenalong
withtheSSID,forexampleProSoft/hidden.
Connection
AConnectionstateisonlyshownforrepeaters.Scanningis
shownwhiletheradioissearchingforamaster.Connectedis
shownforrepeatersthathavelinkedtoamaster.
Signal(dBm)
Thesignalstrength,indBmofaRepeaterorClientdevice’s
linktoaMaster.Masterdevicesdonotreportsignal
strength.
Hops
Thenumberofwirelessconnectionsadeviceisawayfrom
thewiredconnectionofaMaster.Thisvalueisalways1fora
Masterradio.ForRepeaterdevicesisita minimumof2,but
canbehigherifthereareadditionalhopstotheMaster.
Clientdevicesdonotdisplayahopvalue.
Parent
TheMACaddressoftheParentradiotowhichthisRepeater
orClientislinked.NotshownforMasterdevices.
Associations
Thenumberofnetworkelementstowhicharadiohasa
wirelessconnection.
Bridges
Thenumberofdevicetowhichthisdevicehasawireless
connection.Forexample,ifoneRepeaterandoneClientare
linkedtoaMaster,theMastershows2inthisfield,andthe
otherdevicesshow1.
