This field displays the firmware version of the discovered device.

Port (Description)

This field displays the discovered device’s port which is connected to the NWA/WAC.

IP

This field displays the IP address of the discovered device. Click the IP address to access and manage the discovered device using its web configurator.

MAC

This field displays the MAC address of the discovered device.

WDS (Wireless Distribution System) Uplink/Downlink Status

MAC Address

This field displays the MAC address of the root AP or repeater to which the NWA/WAC is connected using WDS.

Radio

This field displays the radio number on the root AP or repeater to which the NWA/WAC is connected using WDS.

Channel

This field displays the channel number on the root AP or repeater to which the NWA/WAC is connected using WDS.

This field displays the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) and transmission/reception rate of the wireless connection in WDS.

System Status

System Uptime

This field displays how long the NWA/WAC has been running since it last restarted or was turned on.

Current Date/Time

This field displays the current date and time in the NWA/WAC. The format is yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.

Current Login User

This field displays the user name used to log in to the current session, the amount of reauthentication time remaining, and the amount of lease time remaining.

Boot Status

This field displays details about the NWA/WAC’s startup state.

OK - The NWA/WAC started up successfully.

Firmware update OK - A firmware update was successful.

Problematic configuration after firmware update - The application of the configuration failed after a firmware upgrade.

System default configuration - The NWA/WAC successfully applied the system default configuration. This occurs when the NWA/WAC starts for the first time or you intentionally reset the NWA/WAC to the system default settings.

Fallback to lastgood configuration - The NWA/WAC was unable to apply the startup-config.conf configuration file and fell back to the lastgood.conf configuration file.

Fallback to system default configuration - The NWA/WAC was unable to apply the lastgood.conf configuration file and fell back to the system default configuration file (system-default.conf).

Booting in progress - The NWA/WAC is still applying the system configuration.

Management Mode

This shows whether the NWA/WAC is set to work as a stand alone AP.

Power Mode

This displays the NWA/WAC’s power status.

Full - the NWA/WAC reveives power using a power adaptor and/or through a PoE switch/injector using IEEE 802.3at PoE plus.

Limited - the NWA/WAC reveives power through a PoE switch/injector using IEEE 802.3af PoE even when it is also connected to a power source using a power adaptor.

When the NWA/WAC is in limited power mode, the NWA/WAC throughput decreases and has just one transmitting radio chain.

It always shows Full if the NWA/WAC does not support power detection. At the time of writing, only the WAC6500 series APs support the power detection feature.

Interface Status Summary

If an Ethernet interface does not have any physical ports associated with it, its entry is displayed in light gray text. Click the Detail icon to go to a (more detailed) summary screen of interface statistics.

Name

This field displays the name of each interface.

Status

This field displays the current status of each interface. The possible values depend on what type of interface it is.

Inactive - The Ethernet interface is disabled.

Down - The Ethernet interface is enabled but not connected.

Speed / Duplex - The Ethernet interface is enabled and connected. This field displays the port speed and duplex setting (Full or Half).

VID

This field displays the VLAN ID to which the interface belongs.

IP Addr/Netmask

This field displays the current IP address and subnet mask assigned to the interface. If the IP address is 0.0.0.0, the interface is disabled or did not receive an IP address and subnet mask via DHCP.

If this interface is a member of an active virtual router, this field displays the IP address it is currently using. This is either the static IP address of the interface (if it is the master) or the management IP address (if it is a backup).

IP Assignment

This field displays how the interface gets its IP address.

Static - This interface has a static IP address.

DHCP Client - This interface gets its IP address from a DHCP server.
