has gained full access to the network. On the other hand, if you select the DHCP option, the tabs
show the IP address information once the device has received that information from the network
after the completion of WLAN authentication and association.
In a sense, the IP and IPv6 Information tabs are mutually exclusive because the IP networking is
typically based on either the IPv4 or IPv6. So the IPv6 tab is not very informative in the case that
the IP networking uses IPv4 addressing scheme.

Hardware tab
Setting physical WLAN parameters such as 802.11g-radio, 802.11b-radio or both of them in use,
open the Hardware tab. It is recommended that you at least check if your device is in accordance
with your country’s regulation of the allowable set of channels and of the allowable maximum
transmit (TX) power within the 2.4 GHz unlicensed ISM band. Note that there is no regulatory
domain (country or geographical region) in which all the 14 channels specified by the IEEE
802.11b/g standards may operate. ETSI regulation is mainly followed in European countries; the
exceptions are Spain and France. If the default value (ETSI) is not appropriate, specify the
regulatory domain followed by your country with the ‘Hardware’ tab.
If you change the values on the ‘Hardware’ tab, you need to reset (to warm-boot) your device to
put into effect the changes you made. By means of the ‘Hardware’ tab the changes to the physical
settings are made in the registry only, so the warm-boot gets the WLAN interface re-initializing
itself according to the settings in the registry

Wireless Information tab
The most informative part of the ‘Network Status Monitor’ dialog box becomes visible on the
Wireless Information tab. It also accepts you to configure security parameters of wireless LAN
communication, that is, to set a preferred network configuration, and to configure the behavior of
WZC itself.
The Wireless Information tab shows the wireless LAN devices being within range in its list window
– a
network view
. The WZC updates the list in the network view on a regular basis, which is
based on the beacon frames the WLAN adapter has received within the refreshing period of the
network view.
