	Detailed Information
	Parameter	Description
	RSSI	The received signal strength indicator (RSSI) is a measure of signal strength
		in decibels with respect to milliwatts (dBm).
	Data Encryption	Indicates whether the data exchanged with this access point is encrypted.
		Value: Secure or Open
	Infrastructure Mode	Indicates whether the device is an access point operating in infrastructure
		mode or another client adapter operating in ad hoc mode.
		Value: Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc
	Network Type	The IEEE 802.11 standard that describes the access point’s radio band.
		Value: A, B, or G
	Supported Rates	The rate at which the access point is capable of transmitting and receiving
		data packets.
		Value: 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, or 54 Mbps
	Channel (Frequency)	The channel and radio frequency that the access point is currently using for
		communications.
		Value: Dependent on radio band and regulatory domain
	Beacon Period	The amount of time between access point beacons in Kilomicroseconds
		(Kµsec).
		Note One Kµsec equals 1,024 microseconds.
	ATIMWindow	Announcement traffic information message (ATIM) window. The brief time
		period immediately following the transmission of each beacon in an ad hoc
		network. This value is expressed in Kilomicroseconds (Kµsec).
		Note One Kµsec equals 1,024 microseconds.
		Note This parameter’s value is 0 when the device is operating in
		infrastructure mode.
	DSConfig	The frequency of the selected channel.
		Range: 2,412,000 to 2,484,000 kHz (802.11b/g);
		5,000,000 to 6,000,000 kHz (802.11a)
	HopPattern	The hop pattern used to determine the hop sequence.
	HopSet	A set of patterns used to determine the hop sequence.
	DwellTime	The maximum amount of time that the access point should remain on a
		channel. This value is expressed in Kilomicroseconds (Kµsec).
		Note One Kµsec equals 1,024 microseconds.
	Name	The access point’s name. It is shown only if the access point was configured
		with a name, Aironet Extensions are enabled (on access points running Cisco
		IOS Release 12.2(4)JA or later), and the access point transmits this
		information.
		Note This field shows up to 15 characters although the name of the access
		point may be longer.
