The fields in this menu provide the following information: 

• 

State: shows the association state of your computer with the wireless 
LAN.  When operating in Access Point type, this field shows the MAC 
address of the Access Point with which you are communicating. When 
operating in Peer-to-Peer type, this field shows the virtual MAC 
address used by computers participating in the Peer-to-Peer network. 

• 

Current Channel: shows the channel on which the connection is made.  
In Access Point type, this number changes as the radio scans the 
available channels.   

• 

Current Tx Rate: shows the highest transmit rate of the current 
association. 

• 

Throughput: shows the short term transmit and receive throughput in 
bytes/second, and is continuously updated. 

• 

Link Quality: is based on the quality of the received signal of the 
Access Point beacon. 

• 

Signal Strength: is based on the received signal strength 
measurement of the baseband processor of the Beacon signal. 

You can click the Rescan button to force the radio to rescan all available 
channels.  If your link quality or signal strength is poor, rescanning can be 
used to push the radio off a weak Access Point and search for a better 
link with another Access Point. 

Radio On/Off button let you turn the wireless radio on or off. 

The About menu provides information on the version of the Network 
Driver, the Configuration Utility, and the firmware in the PHILIPS WLAN 
Interface card.  In addition, this menu also provides the MAC address of 
the PHILIPS WLAN card.
