Wait a moment while the NWA compiles the information. Figure 18 Channel Usage Chapter 5 Monitor The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 9 Channel Usage LABEL DESCRIPTION SSID This is the Service Set IDentification (SSID) 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 AdHoc network (also known as Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS)) as one that doesn't. See the chapter on wireless configuration for more information on basic service sets (BSS) and extended service sets (ESS). 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. 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. Wireless Mode This is the IEEE 802.1x standard used by the wireless network. Signal Strength This field displays the strength of the AP's signal. If you must choose a channel that is currently in use, choose one with low signal strength for minimum interference. Security This is the wireless security method used by the wireless network to protect wireless communication between wireless stations, access points and the wired network.
