MAC Address
Shows the
MAC
address of the neighboring access point.
A
MAC
address is a hardware address that uniquely identifies
each node of a network.
Beacon Interval
Shows the
Beacon
interval being used by this access point.
Beacon frames are transmitted by an access point at regular
intervals to announce the existence of the wireless network. The
default behavior is to send a beacon frame once every 100
milliseconds (or 10 per second).
The Beacon Interval is set on Advanced > Radio Settings. (See
“Configuring Radio Settings” in this manual.)
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 communicate 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 “Configuring Basic
Settings” in this manual) or in Advanced > Wireless (see
“Setting the Wireless Interface” in this manual.)
A Guest network and an Internal network running on the same
access point must always have two different network 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 “plain text” mode (no security).
•
On
indicates that the neighboring device has some security in
place.
Security is configured on the AP at Advanced > Security. For more
information on security settings, see “Configuring Security” in
this manual.
WPA
Indicates whether
WPA
security is “on” or “off” for this access
point.
