4.1 Link Information
Connected To Network
This field is used to display the current status of connection. When the state shows “Connected to Network“ means normal
flow of operation in Infrastructure mode. The PC is connected to access point. Networking is available.
A state of “Scanning” means that the node is searching for available access point and detecting
the SSID for an available access point within range.
This field will also display an error message for some reason if the driver fails to initialize.
Network Type
Infrastructure Mode
The driver will scan all available channels continuously until it finds one or more Access Points that match its SSID. At that
point it will try and authenticate and associate with the Access Point.
Peer to Peer Mode
The driver will scan for 5 seconds looking for an existing Ad Hoc network
using the same SSID.
Current Channel and Transmit Rate
Shows the channel of the radio and transmit rate being currently used for an active connection.This value has no meaning
when the radio is “Scanning”
Link Quality
The Link Quality bar graph is only active when the node is in Infrastructure Mode. The bar graph displays the quality of
the link between the node and Access Point.
Signal Strength
The Signal Strength bar graph is only active when the node is in Infrastructure Mode. The bar graph displays normalized
signal strength as reported by the radio, averaged over all frames over 100 bytes long that are received from the Access
Point.
