MAC address.

Bit rate in Mbit.
•
Current transmit power in mW

Beacon period – the time between AP beacons in kilomicroseconds. (one kilomicrosecond = 1,024 microseconds)
•
DTIM interval – A multiple of the beacon period that specifies how often the beacon contains a delivery traffic indication
message (DTIM). The DTIM tells power saving devices a packet is waiting for them. For example, if DTIM = 3, then every
third beacon contains a DTIM.

wireless LAN. All activity is logged in the Diagnostic Output box on the lower part of the screen.
•
Release/Renew
– Obtain a new IP address through release and renew. All activity is logged in the Diagnostic Output
box. If a fixed IP address has been assigned to the radio, this is also noted in the Diagnostic Output box. Note that the
current IP address is displayed above this button.
•
Start Ping
– Start a continuous ping to the IP address specified in the text box to the right of this button. Once the button
is clicked, the ping begins and the button label changes to
Stop Ping
. Clicking the button ends the ping. The ping also
ends when any other button on this screen is clicked or the user browses away from the Diags tab. The results of the ping
are displayed in the Diagnostic Output box.
•
Diagnostics
– Also attempts to (re)connect to the wireless LAN. However, this option provides more data in the Diagnostic
Output box than the (Re)connect option. This data dump includes radio state, profile settings, global settings, and a list
of broadcast SSID APs.
•
