Preferred BSSID
This field contains the MAC address which is published as BSSID by the AP 
Client/ Station node. To create a name for the basic service set identifier 
(BSSID), type the MAC address in the Preferred BSSID box. 
State and Link Quality/ Signal Level
The State field and Link Quality/ Signal Level fields mirror Client Node’s 
state as far as it has to do with the potential link with as access point. A 
continuous polling protocol operates between the MicroView NMS and all nodes 
which have been added in the Network Topology pane. For Client configured 
nodes, MicroView NMS is continuously informed of the State (Idle, Authenticated 
or Associated) of the node, the quality of the link (if associated) and the dynamic 
signal strength.

Using Site Survey Operation
The Site Survey button is available on all OpMode tabs. If the MicroRed node 
operates as AP Client, Repeater or Station, Site Survey will scan all available 
channels to find an appropriate BSSID to join (based on user credentials SSID, 
BSSID  Security  etc).  When  the  MicroRed  node  acts  as  an  access  point  or  WDS, 
Site Survey can be used to scan and monitor adjacent frequencies to detect 
interference from other access points. 
When you click the Site Survey button, the Site Survey dialog box appears. Rows 
in the dialog box display all the available information for every node scanned. 
After the scan is complete and the dialog box list is populated, the status bar at 
the bottom of MicroView NMS window displays the message Site survey list 
retrieved successfully
.
