Chapter 4 – MC-Config Program
5
IP-
Address
IP adress of the WLAN client on the interface (LAN or WLAN) the client is con
-
nected by to the MC-Config program.
Depending on the set bridge mode there might be a different IP address for the
LAN and WLAN port. Text color and background color of this field provide informa
-
tion about the type of connection between the MC-Config program and the WLAN
client..
Note:
A Unicast connection is necessary for the download of the debug and
WLAN trace files (see section 9.3 on page 81)
6
System-
MAC
MAC address of the WLAN client. The LAN interface sends out data using another
Mac address than the WLAN interface. If the cursor is positioned over this column,
additional information is displayed.
7
SSID
Gives the WLAN name (Service Set Identifier, SSID), that the WLAN client wants to
connect to. If no connection is established the SSID of the active WLAN profile
with the highest priority is shown.
8
AP-MAC/
Name
When the WLAN client is connected to a WLAN, the Mac address of the con
-
nected access point is displayed here. Some access points send out a device name
that the WLAN client then shows here instead of the MAC address.
9
Signal
(SNR)
Strength of the signal received by the access point (AP). The signal-to-noise ratio is
given in dBm.
–
Signal >= 40 very good connection
–
Signal >= 30 good connection
–
Signal >= 20 sufficient connection, WLAN client starts to search for a better AP
–
Signal < 20 limited connection, the bit rate will be reduced during data transfer
10
Bitrate
Bitrate for receiving data from AP. The data rate is given in MBit/s and is in the
range of 1 to 300 MBit/s
11
Key
When the WLAN client is connected to an AP, here the encryption type used to
establish the connection is given.
