Information provided on neighboring access points is described in the following table.
Field Description
MAC Address Shows the MAC address of the neighboring access point.
A MAC address is a hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a network.
Radio If the access point that is "doing the detecting" of neighboring APs is a two-radio access
point, the Radio field is included.
The Radio field indicates which radio the neighboring AP was detected on:
wlan0 (Radio One)
wlan1 (Radio Two)
Beacon
Interval
Shows the Beacon interval being used by this access point.
Beacon frames are transmitted by an access point at regular intervals to announce the
existence of the wireless network. The default behavior is to send a beacon frame once
every 100 milliseconds (or 10 per second).
The Beacon Interval is set on the Manage > Radio tab page. (See “Configuring Radio
Settings”.)
Type Indicates the type of device:
AP: It indicates the neighboring device is an access point that supports the IEEE 802.11
Wireless Networking Framework in Infrastructure Mode.
Ad hoc: It indicates a neighboring station running in Ad hoc Mode. Stations set to ad hoc
mode communicate with each other directly, without the use of a traditional access
point. Ad-hoc mode is an IEEE 802.11 Wireless Networking Framework also referred to
as peer-to-peer mode or an Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS).
SSID The Service Set Identifier (SSID) for the access point.
A Guest network and an Internal network running on the same access point must always
have two different network names.
Privacy Indicates whether there is any security on the neighboring device.
Off indicates that the Security mode on the neighboring device is set to "None" (no
security).
On indicates that the neighboring device has some security in place.
Security is configured on the AP from the Security tab page. For more information on
security settings, see “Configuring Security
”.
WPA Indicates whether WPA security is "on" or "off" for this access point.
