NAME

       $HOME/.wavemonrc - wavemon configuration file

DESCRIPTION

       wavemonrc  is  the  per-user  configuration  file  for  wavemon(1).   This  page describes its individual
       configuration options.  Each corresponds to a configuration item of  the  Preferences  screen  (F7  key),
       whose on-screen name is shown in parentheses.

       interface = <ifname>
       (Interface)
              Selects the wireless interface to use.

       cisco_mac = (on|off)
       (Cisco-style MAC addresses)
              If  enabled,  display  MAC  addresses  using  lower-case  hex digits separated by dots rather than
              colons.

       sort_order = (channel|essid|mac|signal|open|chan/sig|open/sig)
       (Scan sort type)
              Determines the ordering used in the scan window: channel sorts by channel number, essid by  access
              point  name,  mac  by  MAC address, signal by signal strength, and open by openness.  The combined
              variants chan/sig and open/sig sort first by channel/openness and then  by  signal  strength.   It
              also affects the status line at the bottom: normally the most crowded channels are listed, sorting
              by channel in descending order switches to least crowded ones instead.

       sort_ascending = (on|off)
       (Scan sort direction)
              Sets the direction of the sort_order: ascending (on) or descending (off).

       stat_updates = <n>
       (Statistics updates)
              Time interval for polling new statistics (including scan refresh). Range: 10..4000ms.

       lhist_slot_size = <n>
       (Histogram update cycles)
              Number of samples used per each histogram slot. For example, if the stat_updates interval is 500ms
              and  the histogram slot size is 4, the histogram is moved one slot further every 2 seconds. Range:
              1..64.

       meter_smoothness = <n>
       (Level meter smoothness)
              Determines the responsiveness of level meters, tracking the moving average rather  than  following
              each  new  sample.  The  given  value  specifies  the percentage of the history (the 'inertia') of
              preceding samples. A value of 0 disables this option. Range: 0..99%.

       info_updates = <n>
       (Dynamic info updates)
              Sets refresh rate for dynamic device parameters (e.g. bitrate) and the refresh  interval  for  the
              Scan window (F3). Range: 1..60s.

       override_auto_scale = (on|off)
       (Override scale autodetect)
              Override the auto-scaling of the bar graphs and histogram, allowing you to set your own scales.

       min_signal_level, max_signal_level = <n>
       (Minimum signal level, Maximum signal level)
              Set  the  left  and  right  boundaries of the signal level scales. Ranges: -100..-39 (minimum) and
              -40..-10dBm (maximum).

       min_noise_level, max_noise_level = <n>
       (Minimum noise level, Maximum noise level)
              These work similar to the signal boundary settings. Ranges: -120..-70dBm (minimum) and -69..-40dBm
              (maximum).

       lo_threshold_action = (disabled|beep|flash|beep+flash)
       (Low threshold action)
              Issue  a  warning   at  a  given  threshold  at the lower end of the signal scale. It is meant for
              alarming you when a signal appears at the receiver.

       lo_threshold = <n>
       (Low threshold)
              Sets the threshold value for the 'Low threshold action'.  Range: -120..-60dBm.

       hi_threshold_action = (disabled|beep|flash|beep+flash)
       (High threshold action)
              Analogous to lo_threshold_action, only this time the threshold is at the upper end  of  the  scale
              and  the  action  is  performed  when the signal level drops below it. The acoustic signal is also
              different in order to be easily distinguishable from  the  lower  one.  Correctly  adjusted,  this
              little fellow will tell you when you should move closer to the base station.

       hi_threshold = <n>
       (High threshold)
              Sets the threshold for the 'High threshold action'. Range: -59..120dBm.

       startup_screen = (info|histogram|scan window)
       (Startup screen)
              Which of the screens appears at program startup.
