The Link Quality penalty that is imposed on calculations if a remote node does not respond to a ping request. The default value is 5 percent. This setting may be helpful for cases when a link would otherwise be marked *active* but the remote node is currently unreachable on the network.
User Blocked Nodes
A comma-separated list of MAC addresses which you desire to block from your neighbors list. This feature allows you to "blacklist" specific nodes. Nodes are blocked by their Wifi MAC address which is typically uppercase with the hex pairs separated by colons.

RF nodes are blocked by their Wifi MAC address, while DtD nodes are blocked by their LAN MAC address. MAC addresses are typically entered as uppercase characters with the hex pairs separated by colons.
User Allowed Nodes
A comma-separated list of MAC addresses which you always want to allow. This feature allows you to "whitelist" specific nodes. RF nodes are allowed by their Wifi MAC address, while DtD nodes are allowed by their LAN MAC address. MAC addresses are typically entered as uppercase characters with the hex pairs separated by colons.

RF Neighbor
The neighbor node name with a clickable link to open that node's *Status* display.
Neighbor
The remote neighbor node name with a clickable link to open that node's *Status* display.
Link
The type of link your node has with each remote node. Valid link types are *RF* for a radio link, *DtD* for a direct device-to-device connection, and *Tunnel* for a tunnel link.
SNR
The Signal-to-Noise ratio in dB for both sides of the radio link.
The Signal-to-Noise ratio in dB for both sides of any radio links (local SNR / remote SNR).
Distance
The calculated distance between your node and each listed node. This calculation is based on the GPS coordinates (Lat/Lon) that were entered on each node. If no GPS coordinates were entered, then the distance cannot be calculated and that metric will not be considered in the LQM improvement process.

Quality
The Link Quality expressed as a percent. This is calculated as the moving average of total sent packets over total sent packets plus retransmissions. For example, if the node had to send every packet twice for it to be successfully received, the link quality would be 50%. An additional penalty is subtracted from Link Quality if the neighbor node is unpingable, which is explained in the *Advanced Configuration* section under "Ping Penalty".
