Keywords | Value | Description |
|
|
|
SCANMODE | ACTIVE, | Optional – parameter to determine |
| PASSIVE, | the current scanning mode to be |
| ADVANCED | used by the PC Card (default is |
|
| ACTIVE). |
|
|
|
BEACONLISTENTO | 0 – 0xFFFF | Optional – for passive scanning |
|
| mode, determines the amount of |
|
| time (K∝sec) to listen for a beacon |
|
| on each channel (default is 40 |
|
| K∝sec). |
|
|
|
PROBEENERGYTO | 0 – 0xFFFF | Optional – for active scanning mode, |
|
| determines the amount of time to lis- |
|
| ten for RF energy following a probe |
|
| (default is 3 K∝sec). |
|
|
|
PROBERESPONSETO | 0 – 0xFFFF | Optional – for active scanning mode, |
|
| determines the amount of time to |
|
| wait for a probe response after |
|
| energy is detected on a channel |
|
| (default is 20 K∝sec). |
|
|
|
STATIONARY | ON, OFF, | Optional – indicates whether or not |
| YES, NO | the station is mobile (default is |
|
| OFF). |
|
|
|
PROBEDELAY | 0 – 0xFFFF | Optional – indicates how long to wait |
|
| on a frequency before sending a |
|
| probe request (default is 3 K∝sec). |
|
|
|
OFFSCANINTERVAL | 0 – 0xFFFF | Optional – how often to attempt to |
|
| use the “off line” scanning method to |
|
| search for new Access Points |
|
| (default is 0 which disables off line |
|
| scanning). |
|
|
|
OFFSCANDURATION | 0 – 0xFFFF | Optional – how long to use the “off |
|
| line” scanning method during each |
|
| attempt (default is 0 which disables |
