Client Adapter Status Screen Parameters
Description
The version of the radio firmware that is currently running on your
client adapter.
Specifies which frequency your client adapter will use as the channel
for communications. These channels conform to the IEEE 802.11
Standard for your regulatory domain.
• In infrastructure mode, this parameter is set automatically and
cannot be changed. The client adapter listens to the entire
spectrum, selects the best access point to associate to, and uses the
same frequency as that access point.
In ad hoc mode, the channel of the client adapter must be set to
•
match the channel used by the other clients with which you wish to
communicate.
Range: Dependent on regulatory domain
Note
When world mode is enabled and your client adapter has associated to
an access point, this is the channel set adopted by the adapter from the
access point.
Value: Disabled, Unknown, North America, Europe, Japan, Spain,
Identifies the type of client adapter you are using.
Value: 340 Series, 350 Series, or 4800 Series
The MAC address assigned to your client adapter at the factory.

packets.
Value: 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, or 11 Mbps
The number of packets that have been transmitted successfully.
The number of packets that have been received successfully.
The total number of errors on receive packets.
The signal strength for received packets. The longer the bar graph is,
the stronger the signal.
