4. 1 Link Information 
This field is used to display the current status of connection. When the state shows  “Connected to 
Network“ means normal flow of operation in Infrastructure mode. The PC is connected to access 
point.  Networking is available.  
A state of “Scanning” means that the node is searching for available access point and detecting  
the SSID for an available access point within range. 
 
This field will also display an error message for some reason if the driver fails to initialize. 
 
 
Network Type 
Infrastructure Mode   - The driver will scan all available channels continuously until it finds one or 
more Access Points that match its SSID.  At that point it will try and authenticate and 
associate with the Access Point. 
 
     Peer to Peer Mode   - The driver will scan for 5 seconds looking for an existing Ad Hoc network      
using the same SSID.   
-  Current Channel and Transmit Rate 
   
 
Shows the channel of the radio and transmit rate being currently used for an active connection.    
    This value has no meaning when the radio is “Scanning” 
 
-  Link Quality 
The Link Quality bar graph is only active when the node is in Infrastructure Mode.  The bar graph 
displays the quality of the link between the node and Access Point.   
 
 
Signal Strength
 
 
     The Signal Strength bar graph is only active when the node is in Infrastructure Mode. The bar      
     graph displays normalized signal strength as reported by the radio, averaged over all frames over  
    100 bytes long that are received from the Access Point.
