A MAC address is a hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a network.
•
Idle—The amount of time this WLAN client has remained inactive.
A WLAN client is considered to be inactive when it is not receiving or transmitting data.
•
Rate—The negotiated data rate. Actual transfer rates can vary depending on overhead.
The data transmission rate is measured in megabits per second (Mbps). The value
should fall within the range of the advertised rate set for the mode in use on the access
point. For example, 6 to 54 Mbps for 802.11a.

Signal—The strength of the radio frequency (RF) signal the WLAN client receives from
the access point. The measure is known as Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI),
and is a value between 0 and 100.

Channel Management
The Channel Management page shows the current and planned channel assignments for WAP
devices in a Single Point Setup cluster.
devices in a Single Point Setup cluster.
When channel management is enabled, the WAP device automatically assigns radio channels
used by WAP devices in a Single Point Setup cluster. Automatic channel assignment reduces
mutual interference (or interference with other WAP devices outside of its cluster) and
maximizes Wi-Fi bandwidth to help maintain efficient communication over the wireless
network.
