15.4 Wireless Statistics

The following settings will be displayed if you select Wireless from the Statistics menu.

	Wireless Card Information
Network Name (SSID)	This string, (32 characters or less) is the name associated with the Access
	Point (AP). To connect to the AP, the Service Set ID (SSID) on a Station
	card must match the SSID on the AP.
802.11 MAC Address (BSSID)	This is the Media Access Controller address of the AP. It is used as the Basic
	Service Set Identifier (BSSID).
FW Version	This is the Network Interface Card Identifier. It uniquely identifies the
	hardware platform of the AP. This is used with other information to
	determine if the inserted card can be used as an AP, and if so, the version of
	AP firmware to be used. Not all makes of wireless station cards can be used
	as an AP.
	Communication Statistics

NOTE: Data preceded by OUT pertain to transmissions from the VersaLink to a station; VersaLink is the source. Data preceded by IN pertain to data received by VersaLink; VersaLink is the destination.

OUT-Unicast Frames	The number of successfully transmitted frames whose destination address
	was a single station; not necessarily the same station, but to any single
	station as opposed to a transmission that multiple stations would receive-as
	in the case of broadcast message.
