3.4.1 Station Status
Station Status is a read-only sub-menu that displays the current values of the
following parameters:
• Unit's Mode – Identifies the unit’s function. For example, if the unit is an
Access Point, AP-10 appears in this field. If the unit is a Station Adapter i.e.,
SA-10, SA-40 or a WB-10, SA-10, SA-40 or WB-10 appears in this field.
• Unit's HW Address – Displays the unit’s unique MAC address.
• Unit's WLAN Address (SA or WB) – The address associated with the unit.
For the SA-10, this is the address of the PC. For the SA-40 and WB-10, this is
the MAC address of the unit. This field does not appear when the unit is an
AP.
• Station Status (SA or WB) – Current status of the station. This field does not
appear when the unit is an AP. There are three options:
∗ Scanning – The station is searching for an AP with which to associate.
∗ Sync Waiting for Address – The station is synchronized with an AP
but has not yet learned its WLAN MAC address (this option is relevant
only to the SA-10). The AP does not forward packets to the station
when it is in this mode.
∗ Associated – The station is associated with an AP and has adopted the
attached PC MAC address (for SA-10) or uses the unit’s H/W address
(SA-40 and WB-10), and is receiving packets from the LAN.
• AP Address (Station Only) – For stations, this parameter indicates an address
of the AP with which the unit is currently associated.
• Total Number of Associations since last reset (Station Only) – For stations,
this indicates the total number of associations and disassociations with various
APs. This is usually an indication of roaming.
• Current Number of Associations (AP Only) – Total number of stations
currently associated with an AP.
