Table 3-1 describes the parameters in the Available Networks screen. Click Refresh to update the list, if
necessary.
If an access point or peer supported WLAN provides a better CB3000 connection option than the WLAN that
the CB3000 is currently connected to, change the CB3000 connection. See Network Configurations on page
3-3 for more details.
Table 3-1. Available Networks Parameters Descriptions
Parameter Description
Network The network mode for which the CB3000 is configured. Possible values
are:
• AP – Indicates infrastructure mode.
• Peer – Indicates ad hoc mode.
To change the network mode, see Network Configurations on page 3-3.
SSID The Service Set Identifier (SSID) of the access point or peer device. The
name is case sensitive and cannot exceed 32 characters.
MAC Address The MAC address for the access point or peer. A MAC address is a 48-bit
number written as six hexadecimal bytes separated by colons; it cannot be
modified.
RSSI The Relative Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value between the access
point or peer and the CB3000. The RSSI is expressed as a dBm value. A
higher dBm constitutes a higher signal strength value.
Security The security type configured for the access point or peer. Each option (off
[open], WEP, WPA1, WPA2 and Secure 802.1x) has its own unique benefits
and risks. See Security Encryption Configurations on page 3-8 for more
details.
