Psion Teklogix 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway User Manual 131
Type
Indicates the type of device:
• AP indicates the neighboring device is an access point that supports the IEEE 802.11 Wireless
Networking Framework in Infrastructure Mode .
• Ad hoc indicates a neighboring station running in Ad hoc Mode . Stations set to ad hoc mode com-
municate with each other directly, without the use of a traditional access point. Ad-hoc mode is an
IEEE 802.11
Wireless Networking Framework also referred to as “ peer-to-peer ” mode or an
Independent Basic Service Set ( IBSS ).
SSID
The Service Set Identifier ( SSID ) for the access point.
The SSID is an alphanumeric string of up to 32 characters that uniquely identifies a wireless local area network. It
is also referred to as the “
Network Name” .
The SSID is set in Basic Settings. (See Chapter 5: “Configuring Basic Settings”) or in Manage > Wireless Set-
tings (see Chapter 13: “Setting The Wireless Interface”.)
A Guest network and an Internal network running on the same access point must always have two different net-
work names.
Privacy
Indicates whether there is any security on the neighboring device.
• Off indicates that the Security mode on the neighboring device is set to “None” mode (no security).
• On indicates that the neighboring device has some security in place.
Security is configured on the AP from the Security tab page. For more information on security settings, see
Chapter 10: “Configuring Security”.
WPA
Indicates whether WPA security is On or Off ” or this access point.
Band This indicates the IEEE 802.11 mode being used on this access point. (For example, IEEE 802.11a , IEEE
802.11b , IEEE 802.11g .)
The number shown indicates the mode according to the following map:
• 2.4 indicates IEEE 802.11b mode or IEEE 802.11g mode.
• 5 indicates IEEE 802.11a mode.
