Figure 5-3. The Client Box
1. Client MAC Address/Nickname
The MAC address or administrator-set nickname of the client device.
Tip: An administrator can set nicknames for each client device. These nicknames are then displayed in the
Topology Area instead of the MAC address. To set a nickname, right-click on the client device and choose Set
Client Nickname.
Anatomy of a Connection Line
If your BCWN has more than one BreadCrumb device, your Topology Area probably includes several
lines connecting BreadCrumb boxes to clients and to one another. The color, style, and direction of
motion (if any) of a line indicates its channel, speed, and direction as follows:
