The Site Survey window displays the
available networks within the wireless
LAN adapter range and the following
network settings.

BSSID - The IEEE MAC address of the
available wireless networks.

SSID - SSID (service set identifier) of the
network.

CH - Direct sequence channel used by
the network.

RSSI - Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) in dBm.

Type - wireless network mode. AP indicates an Infrastructure network type. STA
indicates an Ad-hoc network type.

WEP - shows whether a network has an enabled (On) or disabled (Off) WEP
encryption.

Select an available network and click Connect to establish connection. Click Search
to rescan available networks.

Note: After assigning the WEP keys, click APPLY to save and activate the
encryption. Manually assigned encryptions are more secure than
automatically generated encryptions.

Note: Use Manual Assignment instead of Automatic Generation if you are
not sure whether other wireless clients use the same algorithm as that of
wireless LAN adapter.

Note: Keep a record of the WEP encryption keys.
