== STA User IO ==



== STA UART ==

Refer to the [wiki:../UART UART usage] page for an overview of how the 802.11 design uses the UART cores on each CPU.

The normal UART output on boot of the AP application is:
{{{
----- Mango 802.11 Reference Design -----
----- v1.0 ------------------------------
----- wlan_mac_sta ----------------------

< High Framework Boot Messages - See Above >

WLAN MAC Station boot complete:
  Default SSID : WARP-AP
  Channel      : 1
  MAC Addr     : 40-D8-55-04-21-4A

Press the Esc key in your terminal to access the UART menu
}}}

The STA boot message indicates the SSID it searches for by default (WARP-AP) and the node's wireless MAC address ({{{40-D8-55-04-21-4A}}} here).

The STA application implements a simple UART menu, accessed by hitting {{{ESC}}} key:
{{{
********************** Station Menu **********************
[1] - Interactive Station Status
[2] - Print all Observed Statistics

[a] -   display BSS information
[r/R] - change unicast rate

}}}

Option {{{1}}} will show a sub-menu with a command to reset all Tx/Rx statistics.

Option {{{2}}} will print the Tx/Rx statistics for all traffic at the STA.

Option {{{a}}} will print the list of wireless networks the STA has discovered during its active scan.
