7 Link status
The link status command will display the most common information needed to
characterize how a radio link is performing.
The command is implemented on both APs and SUs. However, some of the information
is subtly different between the two unit types.
AP Link Status
192.168.100.200 hmm> link status
MAC type Access Point
Unit MAC address 00:C0:69:0C:52:2F
Channel 0 horizontal
Radio Channel Mask 7fff
Base Station ID 0
Radio temperature 38 degC (OK)
TX maximum backoff 6.0 dB
TX current backoff 0 dB
Max TX power for channel 1.0 dBm
Actual TX power 0.9 dBm
Averaging MAC error rates over 2 seconds....
Aggregate Downlink Cell Error Rate 0.00 % approx (OK)
Aggregate Uplink Cell Error Rate 0.00 % (OK)
7.1.1 MAC type
MAC type displays what type of MAC is loaded on the unit: either AP or SU.
7.1.2 Unit MAC address
Unit MAC address displays the unit’s physical MAC address which is a 12 digit hexadecimal number.
7.1.3 Channel
Channel identifies which channel and polarization the unit is set to.
7.1.4 Radio Channel Mask
Radio Channel Mask displays the current channel mask. This is not relevant to an AP, and can be ignored.
7.1.5 Base Station ID
Base Station ID is not currently used and can be ignored.
