Figure 59: WLAN Client Settings
The following settings are used to configure the wireless client mode:
SSID
: This is the service set ID identifying the wireless network to connect to. It
can be entered manually, e.g. if the network is hidden, or scanned using the
scan
button. Note that scanning interrupts an active wireless connection, so use this
button only when setting up the wireless connection.
Search Results
: The search results list contains the discovered SSIDs and signal
strenghts. Selecting one of the items copies it into the SSID field.
Key Management
: This list selects between NONE (no encryption), WEP, WPA
and WPA2 encryption. The recommended setting is WPA2, as WPA and WEP are
not considered secure anymore and are provided for backwards compatibility.
Pre-Shared Key
: The preshared key is the encryption key for the wireless
network. The
show
checkbox shows the PSK in clear text.
Verbose Logging
: In case of connection problems, this checkbox can be activated
to store wireless connection information in the OS log. It is not recommended to
leave this option activated during normal operation.
The page displays the following information:
Wireless-USB-Adapter
: The type of the connected wireless adapter.
WLAN Client
: Displays whether the interface is connected to a wireless network.
WLAN Client Signal
: Displays the signal strenght.
WLAN MAC-Address
: Displays the MAC address of the wireless adapter.
