Radio Statistics
RADIO
1 is the tri-band, 802.11a/b/g radio and
RADIO
2 is the
higher-gain 802.11a radio.
Signal Strength is measured in real time, in decibels
referenced to milliwatts, and displayed as a dynamic value in

The Signal Strength for a radio with a Radio Mode setting of
Bridge
can be static or changing, according to the network
deployment. In a point-to-point deployment, the signal level
being measured is from the only other Bridge in the
deployment, and so it remains constant. In a point-to-multipoint
deployment, the Bridge displays the strength of the signal from
each of the other Bridges in the deployment in rotation, at one-
second intervals.

5.2 Tracking
The Bridge tracks devices in the encrypted zone, including
other Fortress Bridges, any configured Trusted Devices, and
Secure Clients.
