Overview
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) Shows your client adapter’s WEP status.
Value: Enabled, Not Enabled, or Need Firmware Upgrade
Note See the Enable WEP parameter in “Enabling WEP”
section on page 4-5 for instructions on enabling WEP.
Authentication Type Shows whether the client adapter must share the same WEP keys
as the access point in order to associate or can associate with the
access point regardless of WEP settings. If the client can
associate, it passes data if it and the access point are using shared
key authentication. However, if a client and access point are using
WEP, and the access point is using open authentication, the WEP
keys do not have to match for the client to associate. But when the
client has associated with the WEP key mismatch, it will be
unable to send data to or receive data from the access point.
Value: Open or Shared Key
Note See the Access Point Authentication parameter in
Table 5-2 on page 5-5 for information on setting the
authentication type.
Antenna Selection The antenna mode that your client adapter is using.
Value: Diversity, Right Only, Left Only
(Right Only is the only option for PCI client adapters)
Note See the Antenna Mode (Receive) and Antenna Mode
(Transmit) parameters in Table 5-6 on page 5-17 and
Table 5-7 on page 5-19 for information on setting the
antenna mode.
Channel Set The regulatory domain for which your client adapter is
configured, such as North America. (For the Japan channel set,
the Call ID is also displayed.) This value is not user-selectable.
Note Refer to Appendix A for a list of channel identifiers,
channel center frequencies, and regulatory domains for
each channel.
Client Name The name your client adapter uses when it associates to an access
point.
Note Client Name is an optional setting; the adapter performs
with or without a configured client name.
Note See the Client Name parameter in Table 6-2 for
information on setting the client name.
MAC Address (Factory) The MAC address assigned to your client adapter at the factory.
Current Link Speed The rate at which your client adapter is transmitting data packets.
Value: 1, 2, 5.5, or 11 Mbps
