IEEE 802.11 connection speed (a, b, or g). The RadioLinx RLX2 radio
supports all three 802.11 connection speeds.
Length of time (in seconds) since the radio last saw a packet from this
MAC address
Number of hops to the Master. A value of 0 (zero) is shown for non-
ProSoft devices.
This list contains both 802.11 devices that are part of the same SSID as the
RLX2 itself (for example, "Minerals") as well as devices that belong to different
SSIDs (for example, "Network1" and "ProSoftInternal"). This list is updated
continuously and can be used for many purposes.
The RLX2 radio updates this list with each 802.11 packet that is received,
whether from a radio of the same network or one that belongs to another SSID. It
can also see radios from other vendors.
Once per second the RLX2 radio evaluates the link it has to its parent to
determine if this link is the best parent to use. A cost is calculated for each entry
and can be seen in the column labeled "Cost" in the preceding table. The cost
calculation is based not only on the strongest signal, but on several other factors
to provide optimum network communication.
