T5 Radio Summary

About this task

The T5 controller Radios screen utilizes separate tabs to display radio Summary, Statistics and WLAN Map data.

A T5 controller uses the operating system to manage its connected radio devices, as opposed to the WiNG operating used by NX service platforms. However, a T5 controller, once enabled as a supported external device, can provide data to WiNG to assist in a T5‘s management within a WiNG supported subnet populated by both types of devices. The Customer Premises Equipment (CPEs) are the T5 controller managed radio devices using the operating system. The tabs within the Radios section support these T5 managed CPE radio devices.
