List View

The list view contains an item for each BSSID detected. A large amount of information is presented in the columns.

To customize the view, you can:

Drag the column heading boundaries to resize them.
Drag the column headings to change the order they appear.
Right click the column headings to hide and show them.
Use the View ╗ Save Defaults menu item to save these changes.

The data in each column is described in the table below.

Column Description

MAC
The text contains the BSSID for wireless devices. The icon shows the signal strength as reported in the last scan: Gray means the item was not detected, or a colored icon ranging from red to green reports the signal strength. A lock appears in the icon if encryption is enabled on the network. For devices on a wired network segment, the icon shows a T-shaped network cable and the MAC address is displayed.

SSID The reported SSID. This may be blank for access points that report their existence but not their SSID. For wired network items, the SSID is assumed to be the SSID that was associated when the item was discovered.

Name The device's name. This is reported rarely and only if "Query APs for names" is configured.

Chan All the channels that the device has been seen on. The most recent one is listed first. Before the channel number may be a star (*), which means you are associated with the device, or a plus (+) which means that you were associated with it at some point.

Speed The maximum reported bandwidth for the device (this is not the actual bandwidth). If you are using an 802.11b device, it may misreport the bandwidth of 802.11g networks as 11Mbps. Some devices are capable of 108Mbps but only report 54Mbps.

Vendor The vendor assigned to the MAC, which may not be the actual equipment manufacturer.

Type "AP" for a BSS, "Peer" for an IBSS.

Encryption The word "WEP" will appear on an encrypted network, regardless of whether it is really using WEP.

SNR The current Signal to Noise ratio, either in dB or arbitrary RSSI units.

Signal+ The highest seen Signal value.

Noise- The lowest seen Noise value.

SNR+ The highest seen SNR value.

IP, Subnet The IP configuration of the object, if available.

Latitude, Longitude, Distance If you are using a GPS receiver, this indicates the estimated position of the object. This position is currently the location where the strongest signal was seen, which is never the actual location. Distance is measured from your current position to the object's estimated position.

First Seen The time or date when the object was first discovered.

Last Seen The most recent time or date when the object was seen.

Signal The current Signal level, either in dB or arbitrary RSSI units.

Noise The current Noise level, in dB. Not supported by all devices.

Flags The 802.11 capability flags, in hexadecimal.

Beacon The 802.11 beacon interval, in K╡s.
