Extra Info
Extra Info: displays the current device usage statistics and status of the system components in a pop-up
window.
Show Stations: selection lists the stations which are connected to the device while operating in
Access Point mode.
Statistics for all stations (RSSI, Tx Rate, Rx Rate and Idle time) can be updated using the Reload
button.
More statistics (Station Uptime, Negotiated Rates, Static WDS Flag, Tx/Rx Frames, Tx/Rx
Bytes) can be retrieved while clicking on the “+” button near MAC address of the each Station
entry.
RSSI - Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) is a measurement of the
power present in a
received radio signal .
Show ARP Table: selection lists all entries of the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) table
currently recorded on the device.
The list can be updated using the Reload button.
ARP is used to associate each IP address to the unique hardware address (MAC) of the devices. It is
important to have unique IP addresses for each MAC or there will be ambiguous routes in the
network.
Show Throughput selection continuously represents the current data traffic on the LAN and WLAN
interfaces in both graphical and numerical form.
The statistics is updated automatically and can be updated using the Reload button.
Show Log selection displays system log information
Show Bridge Table: selection lists all entries in the system bridge table, while the device is
operating in Bridge mode.
The list can be updated using the Reload button.
Bridge table shows to which bridge port the particular station is associated to - in other words from which
interface (Ethernet or wireless ) the network device (defined by MAC address) is reachable to the N-TRON
702-W system while forwarding the packets to that port only (thus saving a lot of redundant copies and
transmits).
Aging timer shows aging time for each address entry (in seconds) - after particular time out, not having seen
a packet coming from a certain address, the bridge will delete that address from the Bridge Table.
Show Routes: selection lists all of the entries in the system routing table, while the device is
operating in Router mode.
