Table 7-3 Client Adapter Status Screen Parameters

Parameter	Description
Firmware Version	The version of the radio firmware that is currently running on your
	client adapter.
Channel	Specifies which frequency your client adapter will use as the channel
	for communications. These channels conform to the IEEE 802.11
	Standard for your regulatory domain.
	• In infrastructure mode, this parameter is set automatically and
	cannot be changed. The client adapter listens to the entire
	spectrum, selects the best access point to associate to, and uses the
	same frequency as that access point.
	• In ad hoc mode, the channel of the client adapter must be set to
	match the channel used by the other clients with which you wish to
	communicate.
	Range: Dependent on client adapter radio and regulatory domain
	Example for 2.4-GHz client adapters:
	1 to 11 (2412 to 2462 MHz) in North America
	Example for 5-GHz client adapters:
	36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, and 64 (5180, 5200, 5220, 5240,
	5260, 5280, 5300, and 5320 MHz) in North America
	Note Refer to Appendix D, “Channels, Power Levels, and Antenna
	Gains,” for a list of channel identifiers, channel center
	frequencies, and regulatory domains for each channel.
World Mode Domain	When world mode is enabled and your client adapter has associated to
	an access point, this is the channel set adopted by the adapter from the
	access point.
	Value: Disabled, Unknown, North America, Europe, Japan, Spain,
	France, Belgium, Israel, Canada, Australia
Product Name	Identifies the type of client adapter you are using.
	Value: 340 series, 350 series, or AIR-CB20 series
MAC Address	The MAC address assigned to your client adapter at the factory.
Data Rate	The rate at which your client adapter is currently transmitting data
	packets.
	802.11a Values: 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 Mbps
	802.11b Values: 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, or 11 Mbps
Transmitted	The number of bytes that were transmitted successfully.
Received	The number of bytes that were received successfully.
Receive Errors	The total number of that were received with errors.
