S PRI
The primary version of low-level radio firmware.
S SEC
The secondary version of the low-level radio firmware.
S RFLINK
A general description of the RF connection overall quality between Lu-
cent radios in the terminal and radios in the Access Point. The Lucent
radio grades the RF link on a scale from 0–92, representing the RF
channel Signal-to-Noise Ratio. The RF link quality descriptions are as-
signed as: 0–23 “Adequate,” 24–47 “Good,” or 48–92 “Excellent.”
S SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio)
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.
S SSID (Service Set ID)
A 32-character, alphanumeric string that identifies the service set, or
infrastructure, with which the terminal is currently associated. The
SSID is a user-configurable parameter and is conf igured by the keyword
“WaveLAN_Network_Name” in the net.cfg file. Setting the keyword to
“ANY” allows the station to associate with any service set.
S B SSID (Basic Service Set ID)
The 6-byte MAC address of the Lucent radio in the Access Point with
which the station is associated. The Lucent radio in the terminal may
associate with a non-Lucent (but 802.11-compliant) radio in an Access
Point. Looking at the first three bytes of the MAC address (OUI) can
help identify the Access Point radio’s manufactu r er .
Example
An OUI of “00601D” points to a Lucent radio, while “0020A6” indicates
aProximradio.
S TxRate
The data rate (in Mb/s) of the last message transmitted by the Lucent
radio. The default TXRate of 2 Mb/s and will be displayed when the
terminal starts up and has not transmitted a frame yet. High speed Lu-
cent radios are capable of data rates of 1 Mb/s, 2 Mb/s, 5.5 Mb/s, and
11 Mb/s. The TxRate 5.5 Mb/s data rate is displayed as 6 Mb/s. This
occurs because the Lucent radio reports an integer value for cu rrent
transmission data rate, so the data rate of 5.5 Mb/s is rounded up to 6
Mb/s.
