The associated AP displays a radio wave radiating from its antenna to indicate its
associated status. Tapping the icon displays a menu with Set Mandatory and Set Roaming
options.
Selecting the Set Mandatory item prohibits the mobile computer from associating with a
different AP. The letter M appears on top of the icon when the Set Mandatory option has
been selected.
Selecting Set Roaming allows the mobile computer to roam to any AP with a better signal.
These settings are temporary and never saved to the registry.
Tap Refresh to update the list of the APs with the same ESSID. A signal strength value of
32 is the highest possible. The APs tab only appears when Infrastructure is selected as the
mobile computer operating mode from the Mode tab.

addresses of the other mobile computers in the network, their operating mode (PSP or CAM),
their transmit rate, their supported data rate and the length of time an adapter has been out
of the Ad Hoc network. Tap Refresh to update the Peers tab to the latest Ad Hoc network
performance and mobile computer membership data.
