radio is not adopted, a red X displays.

Parent AP MAC
Address

Displays the access port's Ethernet MAC (the device MAC address that is printed on the
casing of the unit). Please do not confuse this BSSID MAC with the access port's Ethernet
MAC address.

MAC Address

The Base Radio MAC is the radio's first MAC address when it is adopted by the Switch.

State

Display the current operational mode that the Radio is set for. If the radio is set as a Detector
AP the state will display "Detector", otherwise the state will read "Normal".

VLAN

Displays the name of the VLAN currently used with each access port radio.

Desired Channel

When the radio’s channel is configured statically, the Actual Channel and Desired Channel
are the same. If using ACS (Automatic Channel Selection), the switch selects a channel for
the radio. The Desired Channel displays “ACS” and the Actual channel displays the channel
selected for the radio. When set to Random, the applet makes the channel designation.

Actual Channel

When the radio’s channel is configured statically, the Actual Channel and Desired Channel
are the same. If using ACS (Automatic Channel Selection), the switch selects a channel for
the radio. The Desired channel displays “ACS” and the Actual Channel displays the channel
selected for the radio.

Desired Power (dBm)

Displays the configured power setting in dBm for the selected radio. In most cases, the
Desired Power and Actual Power are the same unless the desired power level would put the
radio's output power outside the accepted regulatory compliance range.

Actual Power

Displays the current power level in dBm for the selected radio. In most cases, the Desired
Power and Actual Power are the same unless the desired power level would put the radio's
output power outside the accepted regulatory compliance range.

Placement

When the radio is adopted using the default configuration, the power for the radio can be
defined as “Indoor” or “Outdoor.” However, some countries have restrictions for the use of
outdoor radios. If using a value of “Outdoor” verify it is in compliance with the country of
operation.

Last Adopted

Displays the time this radio was last adopted by the switch.
