Description
When the BlackBerry device displays the link security method, the security on the
Wi-Fi connection is turned on and active.
This field shows the status of the BlackBerry device connection to the access point.
The status indicators are the following icons:
• green check mark: The authentication key is applied, authentication is
complete, and keys are used to decrypt packets.
• black filled circle: No network connection exists, or no profile exists for an
association to a specific access point.
This field shows the status of the authentication process on the BlackBerry device.
This field specifies the IP address of the BlackBerry device. When a BlackBerry device
displays a value, it displays the network that the BlackBerry device is associated
with.
The field specifies the current signal strength of the BlackBerry device. The value is
based on the signal percentage level, from none to excellent.
This field specifies the data rate in Mbps. IEEE® 802.11b™ has a data rate of 11 Mbps,
and IEEE® 802.11a™ and IEEE® 802.11g™ have a data rate of 54 Mbps.
This field provides a descriptive status message, such as "Status acquired". It also
specifies warnings and errors that a user encountered when the user tried to open
a connection to an access point.
This field specifies whether the wireless connection type is IEEE 802.11a, IEEE
802.11b, or IEEE 802.11g.
This field specifies the IEEE 802.11 channel that the access point uses.
This field specifies information about how the access point manages encryption
keys for a user account on the network. You can configure an access point to support
multiple pairwise ciphers. You can use a pairwise cipher with a group cipher.
This field specifies information about how the access point manages encryption
keys for all user accounts on the network or locally. You can use a pairwise cipher
with a group cipher.
The group ciphers have one of the following values:
• None
• WEP 40
• WEP 104
• TKIP
• AES-CCMP
An access point that you configure to support multiple pairwise ciphers is only as
strong as the weakest pairwise cipher.
