The user-configurable parameters are:
■
Mode
- Set the station operation mode to AdHoc for
network configurations that do not have any access
points, or to Infrastructure for configurations with
access points ("Ad hoc" is the default setting).
■
SSID
- Input an SSID number if the roaming feature is
enabled ("101" is the default setting).
■
Tx Rate
- Indicates the communication rates. Select
appropriate transmission speed to match your wireless
LAN settings ("Fully Automatic" is the default setting).
■
WEP
- For more secure data transmission, select
"Enabled" to use WEP security. The advanced Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is implemented in this card to
prevent unauthorized access. However, for normal use
it is recommended to retain the factory-set "Disabled"
WEP. ("Disabled" is the default setting).
■
Channel
- If you are setting up an Ad hoc wireless LAN,
set the channel number to the same radio channel as
that used by the other wireless clients in your group.
However, if you are connecting to a network via an
access point, then use the same channel as that used by
the access point (access point default: 3).
