Table 21 Color Coding for Links and Nodes
• Individual Node Characteristics – By double clicking on any node in the network, users can view
key operating characteristics of the node. Figure 40 Individual Node Characteristics shows an
example of this for ‘node25905’. The characteristics shown are:
o Node ID: The unique node ID assigned to each node at time of manufacture. This cannot
be changed.
o IP: IP address of the node.
o MAC: MAC address of the node.
o Connections: Number of direct connections to node. Each directly connected node is
listed in the following format:
<Node Name> <RX SNR> <TX MCS> <Variable GI Mode><Pkts in TX Queue> <Num. of Spatial
Streams><UDP User Throughput (Mbps)>
<Air Time %><Data Rate (Mbps)><Loss Rate %><RSSI Ch1> <RSSI Ch2> <RSSI Ch3> <RSSI Ch4>
Notes:
- The ‘Air Time’ specifies the percentage of time the radio is transmitting.
- Data rate shown is actual user data rate in Mbps.
- MCS or NSS of N/A signifies that no data has been sent to that radio yet.
o Frequency: RF center frequency of the node.
o Bandwidth: RF bandwidth of the node.
o Noise Level: Received noise level of the node.
o Interference: Approximate in-band interference level.
o TX Power: Total target transmit power of node.
o TX Power (Actual): Actual transmit power of node. This value may differ from the target
transmit due to temperature variation or inability to transmit a clean signal with the
selected MCS at the target power.
o Fragmentation Threshold: Chosen fragmentation threshold.
o Virtual IP: Secondary IP address of node (0 if none set).
o MCS Mode: Transmit MCS of node.
o Variable GI mode: The variable GI mode setting for this node.
o Link Distance: Link distance setting of node.
o Burst Time: Burst time setting of node.
