LABEL DESCRIPTION
SSID This is the Service Set IDentification name of the AP in an
Infrastructure wireless network or wireless station in an Ad-Hoc
wireless network. For our purposes, we define an Infrastructure
network as a wireless network that uses an AP and an Ad-Hoc
network (also known as Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS)) as
one that doesn’t. See the chapter on wireless configuration for more
information on basic service sets (BSS) and extended service sets
(ESS).
MAC Address This field displays the MAC address of the AP in an Infrastructure
wireless network. It is randomly generated (so ignore it) in an Ad-
Hoc wireless network.
Channel This is the index number of the channel currently used by the
associated AP in an Infrastructure wireless network or wireless
station in an Ad-Hoc wireless network.
Signal This field displays the strength of the AP’s signal. If you must choose
a channel that’s currently in use, choose one with low signal strength
for minimum interference.
Network Mode “Network mode” in this screen refers to your wireless LAN
infrastructure (refer to the Wireless LAN chapter) and security setup.
