Signal Strength: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_strength) displays the received wireless (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless)
signal level (client-side) while operating in Station mode. The represented value coincides with the graphical bar. Use antenna alignment
tool to adjust the device antenna to get better link with the wireless device. The antenna of the wireless client has to be adjusted to get
the maximum signal strength. Signal Strength (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_strength) is measured in dBm (the Decibels
referenced to 1 miliwatt). The conversion is defined as dBm=10log10(P/1mW). So, 0dBm would be 1mW and –72dBm would be
.0000006mW. A signal strength of –80dBm or better (-50..-70) is recommended for stable links.
Connections: displays the number of associated wireless stations while the device is operating in Access
Point mode. This value is not displayed while operating in Station mode.
Horizontal/Vertical: displays the wireless signal levels received for each polarity, while operating in
Station (or Station WDS) mode on MIMO 2x2 devices. Signals Strength are measured in dBm.
Noise Floor: displays the current value of the noise (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_noise) level
in dBm. Noise Floor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_floor) is taken into account while evaluating the signal quality (Signal-to-Noise
Ratio SNR, RSSI) while value mean depends on signal strength above the noise floor.
Transmit CCQ: This is an index of which evaluates the wireless Client Connection Quality. The level is based on a percentage value
where 100% corresponds to a perfect link state.
TX Rate and RX Rate: displays the current 802.11 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/802.11) data transmission
(TX) and data reception (RX) rate while operating in Station mode. Data rates up to 150 Mbps on 1 chain
devices (Bullet M series) and up to 300 Mbps on 2 chain devices (NanoStation/LocoStation M and Rocket M
series) can be used. Highest data rates will provide maximum data throughput while signal level is relevant.
Airmax: Indicates the current status of the AirMax (Ubiquiti’s proprietary TDMA polling technology) in the
device while operating in AP or AP WDS mode. If AirMax is enabled, the device only accepts AirMax stations. (Disable AirMax for legacy
802.11a/jointfilesconvert/291503/bg devices compatibility). AirMax also features some advanced QOS AutoDetection settings.
Airmax Quality: This is an index that evaluates the AirMax Connection Quality. The level is
based on a percentage value where 100% corresponds to a perfect link state.
Airmax Capacity: This is an index of maximum data rate the link is operating at. A Lower
Capacity number indicates a unit that is bogging the system down.

Monitor
Throughput: shows graphs that continuously represent the current data traffic
on the LAN, WLAN and PPP interfaces in both graphical and numerical format.
The chart scale and throughput dimension (Bps, Kbps, Mbps) changes
dynamically according to the mean throughput value. The statistics are updated
automatically. Throughput statistics can be updated manually using the Refresh
button.
Stations: this selection lists the stations which are connected to the device
while operating in Access Point mode (or Access Point WDS).
The following statistics for every station associated is represented in the
station statistics window:
Station MAC of the station which is associated;
Device Name: displays the client’s host name associated to the respective
AP. The device name could be change on the System Page.
Signal/Noise, dBm Signal value represents the last received wireless signal
level, and Noise displays the value of the noise level wireless signal was
received;
ACK: these values indicate the ACK Timeout and its corresponding distance to the station.
Tx/Rx, Mbps Tx value represents the data rates, in Mbps, of the last transmitted packets, and Rx value represents the data rates, in
Mbps, of the last received packets;
CCQ, %: This is an index of which evaluates the wireless Client Connection Quality. The level is based on a percentage value where
100% corresponds to a perfect link state.
Connection time: this value represents the total time running of the stations associated to the AP. The time is expressed in days,
hours, minutes and seconds.
Last IP: displays the last station’s IP address associated to the AP.
Action: shows available options for this station, e.g.: kicking a station for a few seconds to identify any problematic stations.
The information in the station statistics window can be updated using the Refresh button.
