State and Link Quality/ Signal Level
The State field and Link Quality/ Signal Level fields mirror Client Node’s
state as far as it has to do with the potential link with as access point. A
continuous polling protocol operates between the MicroView NMS and all nodes
which have been added in the Network Topology pane. For Client configured
nodes, MicroView NMS is continuously informed of the State (Idle, Authenticated
or Associated) of the node, the quality of the link (if associated) and the dynamic
signal strength.

Using Site Survey Operation
The Site Survey button is available on all OpMode tabs. If the MicroRed node
operates as AP Client, Repeater or Station, Site Survey will scan all available
channels to find an appropriate BSSID to join (based on user credentials SSID,
BSSID Security etc). When the MicroRed node acts as an access point or WDS,
Site Survey can be used to scan and monitor adjacent frequencies to detect
interference from other access points.
