2.1 Status
State
The current state of the driver is displayed in this field. If the state reveals
“Associated,“ it means that the normal flow of operation is in Infrastructure mode.
This shows that the PC is already connected to access point and BSSID is also shown
in the form of hex digits. At the same time, the networking is available for the device.
In “Scanning ” state, it means that the node can not detect the SSID to get an access
point within range and is searching for an available access point. Also, if the driver
failed to initialize for some unknown reasons, this field will display an error message.
Rescan
The driver will restart and begin its Connection Procedure if the rescan button is
pressed. In general, the connection procedure will be different according to the Mode
of the driver.
Enable / Disable Radio
This button is used to enable or disable the radio of AWL100

Current Tx Rate
This field shows the current radio channel which is being used for an active
connection.
Current Channel
This field shows the current radio channel which is being used for an active
connection.
Throughput
The instantaneous wireless Receive and Transmit throughput are displayed in bytes
per second in this field. Every two seconds, these values are updated.
Link Quality
This field reveals the quality of the current connection. Only when the node is in
Infrastructure Mode does the Link Quality bar graph become active. The bar graph
displays the link quality between the node and its Access Point. Over the bar graph, a
label summarizes the quality of the link which can take on one of the following
values:
“Not Applicable”
“Poor”
“Fair”
“Good”
“Excellent”
When the Link Quality becomes “Poor,” the driver will start to look for a better
Access Point. As a result, the Link Quality is a very good measure of receiving and
transmitting errors over the radio.
Signal Strength
Only when the node is in Infrastructure Mode does the Signal Strength bar graph
become active. This bar graph shows normalized signal strength as reported by the
radio, averaged over all frames over 100 bytes long which are received from the
Access Point.
Status information about the radio link is displayed in this tab. Detailed description
should be placed in this field.
