Node Settings Summary
---------------------
The area under the display controls shows both configuration and network status information. The left column contains the IP address details for the network interfaces on this node, as well as the SSID, channel, and bandwidth settings.
The area under the display controls shows both configuration and network status information. The left column contains the IP address details for the network interfaces on this node, as well as the SSID, channel, and channel width settings if Mesh RF is enabled.
The right column contains the Signal Strength readings and other attributes of your node. The **Signal/Noise/Ratio** shows the strongest neighbor radio signal strength in :abbr:`dBm (decibels relative to one milliwatt)` from all connected stations, and it is available only when the node is connected by :abbr:`RF (Radio Frequency)` to a mesh network. Click these links for further information about `Signal to Noise Ratio <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal-to-noise_ratio>`_ and values measured in `decibels <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decibel>`_. There are many factors that impact the network throughput you can expect to achieve, but as a general rule the higher the Signal-to-Noise ratio the better the throughput for your RF links.
The right column contains the Signal Strength readings and other attributes of your node. The **signal / noise / ratio** shows the strongest neighbor signal strength in :abbr:`dBm (decibels relative to one milliwatt)` from all connected stations, and it is available only when the node is connected to a neighbor node via :abbr:`RF (Radio Frequency)`.

There are many factors that impact the network throughput you can expect to achieve, but as a general rule the higher the Signal-to-Noise ratio the better the throughput for your RF links.
Below the Signal Strength readings are the node's **firmware version** and hardware **model**. The **system time** is displayed, as well as the **uptime**, which is the time since the last reboot. If an Internet connection or a local :abbr:`NTP (Network Time Protocol)` server is available, your node's NTP client will sync its time with that time source.
The **load average** is the average number of processes that have been running on the node for the last 1, 5, and 15 minutes. **free space** tells you how much space is available on local storage devices. Flash is the internal non-volatile storage where the operating system, configuration files, and software packages are kept. /tmp is a filesystem in memory that stores the node's current status and various temporary files. Memory is the amount of :abbr:`RAM (Random Access Memory)` available for running processes on the node. **Host Entries** shows the total number of hosts seen on the network, and this includes the AREDN |trade| nodes as well as any other networked devices, such as computers, VoIP phones, PBX devices, cameras, and other hosts. The *Nodes* value shows only the AREDN |trade| nodes that were included in the total device count.
The **load average** is the average number of processes that have been running on the node for the last 1, 5, and 15 minutes. **available space** tells you how much storage space is remaining on your node. *flash* is the internal non-volatile storage where the operating system, configuration files, and software packages are kept. *memory* is the amount of :abbr:`RAM (Random Access Memory)` available for running processes on the node. **host entries** shows the total number of devices seen on the network, and the total includes the AREDN |trade| nodes as well as any other networked devices such as computers, VoIP phones, PBX devices, cameras, and other hosts.
