Advanced Dialog Field Descriptions
Field Name
Description
Wireless Mode
Specifies 802.11a, 802.11b, or autoselect operation.
Autoselect allows the use of both 802.11a and 802.11b
modes.
Ad Hoc Mode
Specifies a band to establish an ad hoc network if no
matching SSID is found after scanning all available
modes.
802.11a Turbo
Enables or disables Atheros turbo mode for 802.11a
radio space. Once enabled, both 802.11a and 802.11a
turbo modes are scanned.
802.11g (Pure g)
Enables or disables OFDM at 2.4 GHz in the 802.11b
radio space.
802.11b Range
Selects either normal (uses all four 802.11b transmit
rates) or extended range (limits network to 1 or 2 Mbit
range).
Encryption Type
Specifies the encryption type:s
■
WEP - use only WEP encryption.
■
AES - only associate with Access Points that can
successfully negotiate AES encryption.
■
Auto - Allow the STA and AP to negotiate the
encryption type.
Scan Mode
Specifies passive, or auto scannings (use country code
to select the type of scan, active or passive).
Transmit Power
Selects full, half, quarter, eighth, or minimum transmit
power.
QoS
