"Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), is calculated by dividing the RF signal level by the RF noise level. The result is a number that indicates the overall communications quality of the RF link and is expressed in dBm.

"Service Set ID (SSID), is a 32 character, alphanumeric string that identifies the service set, or infrastructure, with which the 6400 is currently associated. The SSID is a user configurable parameter. The SSID is config- ured by the keyword WaveLAN_Network_Name in the net.cfg file. Setting WaveLAN_Network_Name to ANY allows the station to associate with any ser- vice set.

"Basic Service Set ID (BSSI), it the 6 byte MAC ad- dress of the Lucent radio in the AP with which the station is associated. The Lucent radio in the terminal may associate with a non-Lucent (but 802.11 com- pliant) radio in an AP. Looking at the first three bytes of the MAC address (OUI) can help identify the AP radio’s manufacturer.

EXAMPLE: An OUI of “00601D” points to a Lucent radio, while “0020A6” indi- cates a Proxim radio.
