AP Names Tab
The AP names tab enables you to create a user-defined list of access point names
associated with the MAC address of the WLAN Card(s) of your access points.
The field AP name in the Site Monitor window will display the value that has been
assigned to the access point upon configuration.
When you spot an access point identified as “unknown” you can assign a name to
identify it in the Client Manager diagnostic windows:
1. Enter a MAC address or double-click on one of the MAC addresses in the list.
2. Enter a name that allows for easy identification of this access point in the access
point Name field.
3. Next click the Add to Table button to associate the name with this MAC address.
The access point names you assign to a MAC address will be saved into an ASCII file
(APlist.txt) that is stored in “c:\program files\orinoco\client manager”. You
can edit the names later on, using an ASCII text editor, such as the Windows Notepad.
Log Settings Tab
You can record the link test measurements to a log file, and use this log file to more fully

intervals or manually upon user-command.
