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
Wireless Configuration and Roaming chapter 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 WEP setup.
Network modes are: Infrastructure (same as an extended service set ESS)),
Infrastructure with WEP (WEP encryption is enabled), Ad-Hoc (same as an
independent basic service set IBSS)), or Ad-Hoc with WEP .
