LABEL DESCRIPTION
SSID This is the Service Set IDentification name of the AP in an Infrastructure
wireless network or wireless station in an Ad-Hoc wireless network. For our
purposes, we define an Infrastructure network as a wireless network that uses
an AP and an Ad-Hoc network (also known as Independent Basic Service Set
(IBSS)) as one that doesn’t. See the Wireless Configuration and Roaming
chapter for more information on basic service sets (BSS) and extended service
sets (ESS).
MAC Address This field displays the MAC address of the AP in an Infrastructure wireless
network. It is randomly generated (so ignore it) in an Ad-Hoc wireless network.
Channel This is the index number of the channel currently used by the associated AP in
an Infrastructure wireless network or wireless station in an Ad-Hoc wireless
network.
Signal This field displays the strength of the AP’s signal. If you must choose a channel
that’s currently in use, choose one with low signal strength for minimum
interference.
