Starting IP Address: Enter the starting IP address to be used for
virtual station IP address generation of newly created virtual
stations in this group. Successive virtual station IP addresses will
be sequentially or randomly generated from this base address.
Netmask: This field shows the network mask to be used by virtual
stations in this group. It is not settable here. It is global for all
virtual stations and is an EmulationEngine configuration
parameter.
Ending IP Address: Enter the ending IP address to be used by
virtual stations in this group when generating random addresses
within a range.
Address Generation: Select the Sequential or Random radio button
to instruct the EmulationEngine to sequentially or randomly
assign IP addresses to newly created virtual stations.
Starting MAC Address: Enter the starting MAC address to be used
for virtual station MAC address generation of newly created virtual
stations in this group. Successive virtual station MAC addresses
will be sequentially or randomly generated from this base address.
The starting MAC address must be within the range of MAC
addresses defined by the WLAN Base MAC Address and WLAN
MAC Mask in EmulationEngine configuration (see EE->Configure
EE).
WLAN MAC Mask: The WLAN MAC Mask is a display-only field. It is
defined in EmulationEngine configuration (see EE->Configure EE).
It limits the range of MAC addresses that can be detected on the
wireless LAN and received by the EmulationEngine. For example,
if the WLAN MAC is set to 00:0b:cd:59:23:44 and the mask is set
to ff:ff:ff:ff:00:00, the only MAC addresses that can be detected on
the wireless LAN and received by the EmulationEngine are:
00:0b:cd:59:00:00 - 00:0b:cd:59:ff:ff. All other MAC addresses will
be filtered out.
Ending MAC Address: Enter the ending MAC address to be used by
virtual stations in this group.
Address Generation: Select the Sequential or Random radio button
to instruct the EmulationEngine to sequentially or randomly
assign MAC addresses to newly created virtual stations.
 Click “Create” to create the group.

vSTA->New Group->Traffic
The Traffic section of the New Emulation Group dialog defines the
type of traffic (Internal/Ping or External/Load Generator) to be
used by the virtual station(s).
