same information as the Available Parents list in the Radio Configuration / Diagnostic
Utility.
List entries marked with a "*" indicate the entry is an alternate path, which can also be

its alternate parents).
802.11 Access Point Detector
The RLX2 radio can be used as an installation tool to analyze the 802.11 environment
and provide the user with information on choosing antenna location and channel
selection.
By using the table in the radio, mounting an RLX2 radio with its actual antenna and use
it to report information on every active 802.11 radio in the area can be done. It will
report:
 Each 802.11 AP heard including SSID
 Actual RSSI from each given in dBm
 Channel of each radio
Use this information to help choose a channel that is least utilized, or to select
appropriate antenna types and alignments to minimize interference.
Port Table
This dialog box opens when Port Table is selected from the AP Dialogs menu.
The port table is a list of all the active ports on the radio. This list shows the same
information as the Port status (page 76) list in the Radio Configuration / Diagnostic
Utility. Each radio can have up to 34 active ports—one Ethernet cable, one parent RF
link, and up to 32 child RF links.
