On Bridges equipped with one or more radios (refer to Table

the
Topology View screen provides a visual representation of
the network to which the Bridge belongs. The screen displays
an icon for the Bridge you are currently logged onto—identified
by a blue box around the its IP address—and each of the
Bridges (nodes) the current Bridge is connected to. When you
first view this screen, the Bridges are arranged randomly, but
