Establishing a connection
ì
Double-click in the list on the connection partner with which you want to set up a
connection.
This connects your PC to the connection partner.
SSID Shows the connection partner's ID (see "SSID (Service Set Iden-
tifier)" on page 22).
BSSID (MAC Address) Shows the connection partner's physical address
(Basic Service Set Identifier).
In networks with AdHoc mode the BSSID corresponds to the
MAC address of the Access Point.
Channel Shows the radio channel the connection partner uses to trans-
mit data (see "Channel" on page 23).
Security Shows whether radio traffic to the connection partner is
encrypted (see "Configuration – Security" on page 24). If this is
the case, you will see a key icon.
Signal Shows the signal strength of the radio traffic between your PC
and the connection partner as a percentage (see "Signal
Strength" on page 31).
Transmission Mode Shows the connection partner's current transmission mode
(see "Transmission mode" on page 23).
Network Mode Shows the connection partner's current network mode
(see "Operating mode" on page 22).
Note:
If your network adapter's active configuration profile is not compatible with the con-
nection partner's settings, for example the encryption has not been set correctly, you
will first see the Configuration – Security tab:
Change the settings required for the connection.
Or
Select a saved profile.
Then the connection will be set up automatically.
