Wi-Fi Array
130 Viewing Status on the Wi-Fi Array
• Channel: Shows which channel each IAP is using, and the channel
setting. To avoid co-channel interference, adjacent radios should not
be using adjacent channels. To make channel selections for a specific
IAP, go to “IAP Settings” on page 255.
• Antenna: Shows which antenna is being used by each IAP.
• Cell Size: Indicates which cell size setting is currently active for each
IAP—small, medium, large, max, automatic, or manually defined by
you. The cell size of an IAP is a function of its transmit power and
determines the IAP’s overall coverage. To define cell sizes, go to “IAP
Settings” on page 255. For additional information about cell sizes and
the importance of planning for and defining the optimum cell sizes
for your Array, go to “Coverage and Capacity Planning” on page 50.

• Tx Power: Shows the transit power for each IAP.
• Rx Threshold: Shows the receive threshold for each IAP.
• Stations: Informs you how many client stations are currently
associated with each IAP. All Arrays can handle up to 64 concurrent
users per individual IAP, thus 16-port models can handle 1024 users
per Array.
• WDS Link: The WDS Link on this radio (if any). See “WDS” on
page 285.
• MAC Address/BSSID: Shows the MAC address for each IAP.
