Field Description
Channel Width*
The bandwidth of the channel used by 802.11 stations. Legacy devices use 20 MHz
channels, and newer devices that support the 802.11n standard can use 40 MHz channels to
increase throughput.
Mesh Links * The total number of mesh links to the device including uplinks and downlinks.
Role Whether the radio acts as a Mesh Node or Access
Active SSIDs The SSID(s) of the radio.

Devices with wired interfaces (other than Dell Networking W-Instant APs) will display the Wired Interfaces table,
which is described in Table 76:
Field Description
Name Displays the name of the interface.
MAC Address Displays the MAC address of the corresponding interface in the device.
Clients
Displays the number of users associated to the corresponding interface at the time of the last
polling.
Type Indicates the type of interface - gigabit Ethernet or fast Ethernet for wired interfaces.
Admin Status The administrator setting that determined whether the port is on or off.
Operational
Status
Displays the current status of the interface. If an interface is Up, then AirWave is able to ping it
and fetch SNMP information. If the AP is listed as Down, then AirWave is either unable to ping
the interface or unable to read the necessary SNMP information from the device.
Duplex
Duplex mode of the link, full or half.
Dell Port Mode
Either Active Standby (which provides redundancy so that when an active interface fails, the
user traffic can failover to the standby interface) or one of the forwarding modes (Split,
Bridge).
Input Capacity The input capacity of the interface.
Output Capacity The output capacity of the interface.
