Wireless Mode: This field shows the EmulationEngine’s current wireless 
mode (11a, 11b, or 11g). You can select a different wireless mode from 
the list box. The web-based user interface will issue a command to the 
EmulationEngine to change its wireless mode and scan for compatible 
systems. The results of the new scan will be reflected in the BSSIDs in the 
list box. 
Click on a BSSID in the list box and click “Join” to continue. 

 Step 2) Select New Group from the vSTA side bar to show the 

New Emulation Group dialog.
