Identifiers

The local station’s WaveLAN Network ID (NWID) and
name (initially the MAC address) are displayed and may
be modified if required. The modifications are in force
only for the duration of the test. When you exit the utility
the original values are restored.
NWID
5
Defaults to the WaveLAN Network ID set in the network
configuration file or when the card was configured. If the
card is not configured the default value is “0100”H.
Change the Network ID to investigate path conditions in
other WaveLAN cells.
Name
5
Defaults to the WaveLAN card’s MAC Address. This
name will be displayed in the “Other Stations” box on
any other stations in this network that are running the
Point-to-Point Diagnostics program. Change it if a more
meaningful name is required.
Search for Other Stations
