Resource Identifiers
Resource Identifiers (RIDs) are used to access configuration, status and statistics from the PC4500/4800.
Selector Access Description Notes
Configuration (these RIDs cannot be written while the MAC is enabled)
0xFF10 See notes General Configuration Many configuration items.
0xFF11 See notes Valid SSID list List of SSIDs which the station may associate to.
0xFF12 See notes Valid AP list List of APs which the station may associate to.
0xFF13 See notes Driver name The name and version of the driver (for debugging)
0xFF14 See notes Ethernet Protocol
Encapsulation
Rules for encapsulating ethernet payloads onto 802.11.
0xFF15 See notes WEP Key volatile Key used for encryption
0xFF16 See notes WEP Key non volatile Key used for encryption
0xFF17 See notes Modulation Set the default modulation to CCK or MBOK
(4800 only)

Once the MAC has been enabled, the configuration RIDs cannot be written (it can be read). The MAC
must be disabled before the configuration can be modified.
Using the 0xFF60 and 0xFF68 RIDs will return the cumulative statistics which always accumulate and
will never clear (although they may roll-over).
Using the 0xFF61 and 0xFF69 RIDs will return the delta statistics which are the statistics that have
accumulated since the last clear.
Using the 0xFF62 and 0xFF6A Rids will return the delta statistics which are the statistics that have
accumulated since the last clear . Additionally, all delta statistics will be zeroed.
