In addition to the neighbor node name, there are text abbreviations in parentheses that tells how the neighbor node is connected and the status of the link.
Link Type
- ``rf``: Note that there is no link type identifier for radio links, so links without one of the identifiers below can be considered ``rf`` links.
- Note: There is no link type identifier for radio links, so links without one of the identifiers below can be considered a radio link.
- ``dtd``: indicates a direct *Device to Device* connection (typically using an Ethernet cable) between the nodes.
- ``tun``: indicates the path to the neighbor node is over an Internet tunnel. ``(tun*?)`` next to a mesh node in the *Remote Nodes* column indicates the node has tunnel links over the Internet to connect mesh islands together. ``?`` is a number indicating the number of tunnel connections on that node.
- ``xlink``: indicates a connection between the nodes that traverses cross-linked devices.
@ -70,9 +70,7 @@ Link Status
- ``blocked - dup``: LQM blocks a link in cases when your node has an RF link to other nodes which themselves connect to each other via DtD. This can occur when there are multiple radios at a site using the same channel. The best remote node is chosen as the RF link for your node but the other possible RF connections are blocked as duplicates.
- ``blocked - user``: LQM will block any node which you enter in the *User Blocked Nodes* field described in the *Advanced Configuration* section.
- ``hidden``: LQM will display nodes that are out of range of your node but which are able to access a common intermediary node.
- ``exposed``: LQM will display nodes that can reach other nodes which are hidden from your node.
- ``idle``: LQM has determined that the link is usable and would be ``active`` but the node routing table does not yet have a route for sending traffic across the link.
- ``disconnected``: This RF Neighbor is no longer online.
You can refresh the *Link Status* values by pressing the *Refresh* button or by selecting the *Auto* button to automatically refresh the display. Links whose quality has improved may be activated, while links whose quality has worsened may be blocked.
