"
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), is calculated by dividing
the RF signal level by the RF noise level. The result is
a number that indicates the overall communications
quality of the RF link and is expressed in dBm.
"
Service Set ID (SSID), is a 32 character, alphanumeric
string that identifies the service set, or infrastructure,
with w hich the 6400 is currently associated. The SSID
is a user configurable parameter. The SSID is config-
ured by the keyword
WaveLAN_Network_Name
in
the
net.cfg
file. Setting
WaveLAN_Network_Name
to ANY allows the station to associate with any ser-
vice set.
"
Basic Service Set ID (BSSI), it the 6 byte MAC ad-
dress of the Lucent radio in the AP with which the
station is associated. The Lucent radio in the terminal
may associate with a non-Lucent (but 802.11 com-
pliant) radio in an AP. Looking at the first three bytes
of the MAC address (OUI) can help identify the AP
radio’s manufacturer.
EXAMPLE:
An OUI of “00601D” points to a Lucent radio, while “0020A6” indi-
cates a Proxim radio.
