Requested Status

This setting is useful for troubleshooting problems on your network. Up, the default setting, turns the radio on for normal operation. Down turns the radio off.

The Current Status line under the setting displays the current status of the radio port. This field can also display Error, meaning the port is operating but is in an error condition.

Packet Forwarding

This setting is always set to Enabled for normal operation. For troubleshooting, you might want to set packet forwarding to Disabled, which prevents data from moving between the Ethernet and the radio.

The Forwarding State line under the setting displays the current forwarding state. For normal access point operation, the forwarding state is Forwarding. Four other states are possible:

•Unknown—The state cannot be determined.

•Disabled—Forwarding capabilities are disabled.

•Blocking—The port is blocking transmission. This is the state when no stations are associated.

•Broken—This state reports radio failure.
