Transmit/Receive Statistics
This page provides some basic information about the current access point and a real-
time display of the transmit and receive statistics for this access point as described in
Table 11.2 on page 125. All transmit and receive statistics shown are totals since the
access point was last started. If the AP is rebooted, these figures indicate trans-
mit/receive totals since the re-boot.
Field Description

MAC Address Media Access Control (MAC) address for the specified interface.
A MAC address is a permanent, unique hardware address for any device that represents an inter-
face to the network. The MAC address is assigned by the manufacturer.
The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway has a unique MAC address for each interface. A two-radio access
point has a different MAC address for each interface on each of its two radios.
VLAN ID Virtual LAN (VLAN) ID.
A VLAN is a software-based, logical grouping of devices on a network that allow them to act as if
they are connected to a single physical network, even though they may not be.
VLANs can be used to establish internal and guest networks on the same access point.
Name (SSID) Wireless network name. Also known as the SSID, this alphanumeric key uniquely identifies a wire-
less local area network.
The SSID is set on the Basic Settings tab. (See “Provide Network Settings” on page 49.)
