4. Contents of Web Interface
4.1 Info Page
The Info window displays the current setup status of the Wireless Ethernet Client.
Communication Quality
Specifies the Communications Quality of the Basic Service Set to which the station
is currently connected. The value for the field of this record is based on signal level
and noise level measurements.
Firmware Version
This indicates the Wireless Ethernet Client’s firmware version.
Current setting of IP Address
It shows IP address of the wireless Ethernet Client.

8
Non-IP MAC Address
The MAC Address of Ethernet port that bridges to Wireless Ethernet Client.
4.2 Wireless Settings
The settings of the wireless device are displayed here, and you can edit some of
these settings.
Operating Mode: Infrastructure
This is the default setting. Switch to Ad-Hoc mode when communicating to another
client device without the presence of Access Point.
SSID
The SSID is also known as Service Set ID. This is the name of your wireless
network. Only Wireless Ethernet Clients and clients that share the same SSID are
able to communicate with each other.
P.S. You can leave this blank and then reboot it to scan the environment
You will see what AP available around you at Info page.

used within your regulatory domain.
TX rate
The transmit rate identifies the preferred data transmission speed of the Wireless
Ethernet Client. Transmissions at faster rates allow for higher data throughput and
quicker network response times. However, transmissions at lower rates are usually
more reliable and cover longer distances than the higher rates.
Access Point Density
When connecting to the Access Point, it is generally necessary to specify an
Access Point Density. This provides some control over handoff of clients during
roaming between Access Points. Three values, Low, Medium, and High
