Wireless Mode: This shows whether the unit is either set as a Station (WESII Client) or
Access Point WDS (WESII Host/AP).
Note: Host/APs and Clients are pre-set in the factory and cannot be changed.
MAC: Each Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. This
number should be used to track and reference the WESII units. All single point Host/APs
are locked to one Client MAC address only. If a replacement Client is deployed, its MAC
address must be entered into the Host/AP in order to connect.
LOCAL AP SSID: This displays the SSID (Service Set Identifier) chosen on the ‘BASIC
WIRELESS – Radio 1’ interface page.
Frequency: This displays the frequency used for the Host/AP to connect to the Client.
The Client will automatically connect to the same Host/AP frequency once it is locked to
it.
Security: This displays the encryption method selected on the ‘BASIC WIRELESS –
Radio 1’ interface page.
Refresh: This button refreshes the ‘Bytes’, ‘Packets’ and ‘Errors’ information as well
statistics from the connected Client(s).
Align: When a Host and Client are connected the interface displays an alignment tool
button on the Client unit. The WESII antennas need to be aligned to their respective
mate. This tool can be used to identify the optimal mounting alignment.
Connected Stations: the number of devices connected to the Host is shown in
parenthesis. When a Client is connected to a single point Host/AP (or multiple Clients to
a point-to-multipoint Host/AP), the MAC address(es), Signal Strength(s), TX Rate(s), TX
CCQ(s), RX Rate(s) and Channel Width(s) will also be displayed. These are used to
identify if the signal strength and data rates are sufficient for a wireless connection
needed for a constant stream of video. In the screen shot below the important details
are defined:
MAC Address: the MAC address of the connected WESII unit.
