NAVIGATING THE WEB BROWSER INTERFACE

Site Survey

In Ethernet Adapter mode, the Site Survey scans and shows all IEEE 802.11b wireless devices within the adapter’s signal range. You can choose one of them to connect to by clicking on an (B)SSID entry.

BSSID : Basic Service Set ID. The MAC address of the access point to which the adapter is connected in an infrastructure network. In an ad hoc network, the BSS ID is a random number generated by the first adapter that communicates with other clients in the network. The BSS ID of the other clients will then be set to the same value.

Channel : The radio channel on which the access point operates.
