After the wireless network is running, observe the WLAP ID from the WLAP RF Statistics screen. Display this screen by pressing F3 from the RF Statistics screen. WLAP Manual BSS ID Intel recommends that you set the WLAP Manual BSS ID to its own MAC address. An example is shown in Figure 1-3. This causes the access point to go directly to the Functional state and therefore reduces the time required to begin the wireless connection. The Functional state is described in section 3.3.1: Functional State.
