‹ BYTES - the total number of bytes received/transmitted on
the interface
‹ PACKETS - the total number of packets received/transmitted
on the interface
‹ ERRORS - the total number of receive/transmit errors
reported on the interface
5.1.3 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
RADIO STATISTICS frame of the INTERFACE STATISTICS
SCREEN .
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.
NOTE: The
Bridge’s Tracking
screen does not display
the Device ID and IP ad-
dresses of devices on a
LAN secured by anoth-
er Fortress controller
device. All such devices
display the IP address
and Device ID of the
controller device secur-
ing them. The MAC ad-
dresses of these devices
display accurately.
The TRACKING screen displays:
‹ MAC Address - the Media Access Control address of the
connected device
‹ Client ID - the Device ID of the connected device, if the
connected device is another Fortress controller device or is
running the Secure Client
‹ State - the state of the device’s connection to the Bridge-
secured network (see Table 5.1, below)
‹ User Name - the user name associated with the device, if a
user is locally configured for the device (This field is absent
when authentication is globally
Disabled on the Bridge or
External authentication is selected.)
‹ IP Address - the network address of the device, or 0.0.0.0,
if the device has been configured to accept
any IP address
(from the networks DHCP server)
‹ Computer Name - the hostname of the device on which the
Secure Client is running, if the connected device is another
Fortress controller device or is running the Secure Client
(and has a hostname configured)
