Link Information
The Link Information screen displays the information on the current wireless network
to which you are connected.
Network Name — This is the Service Set ID (SSID) for the wireless network to which
you want to connect.
Base Station Name ID — The MAC address of the access point to which the card is
connected in an infrastructure network. In an ad hoc network, this ID is a random
number generated by the first station that communicates with other stations in the
network. The BSS ID of the other stations will then be set to the same value.
Channel — This is the radio channel through which the access point communicates
to stations within the same network. A Basic Service Set (BSS) consists of a group of
wireless PCs and an access point that is directly connected to the wired LAN. To
establish an ad hoc network, make sure the "Channel" is set to the same radio
channel as that used by the other wireless clients in your group. However, if you are
connecting to a network via an access point, the adapter will automatically use the
same channel as that used by the access point.
