SSID - Service Set Identifier is a
name that identifies a wireless
network. Access points and
wireless devices attempting to
connect to a specific WLAN
(Wireless Local Area Network)
must use the same SSID. The
default setting is default.
Wireless Mode - Click on the
pull-down menu; select from
the following options:
Infrastructure -
Connecting to the WLAN using an access point. (This is the default
setting).
Ad-Hoc – Wireless mode used when connecting directly to a computer
equipped with a wireless adapter in a Peer-to-Peer environment.
Ad-Hoc Band - If you have selected Ad-Hoc wireless mode, select the standard
for your Ad-Hoc communication: 11b,11g,11a,11a Turbo, or 11g Turbo.
Channel – The channel selection is automatically determined by the DWL-
AG650S. In Ad-Hoc mode, the channel must be manually set to the same
channel for each wireless adapter.
Tx Rate (11b/g) - Tx rates are automatically determined for an optimal speed
up to 54Mbps.
Tx Rate (11a) - Tx rates are automatically determined for an optimal speed up
to 54Mbps.
Power Mode – Select from three modes:
Continuous Access Mode-this default setting consumes the most power.

Preamble -The Preamble defines the length of the CRC block (Cyclic
Redundancy Check is a common technique for detecting data transmission
errors) for communication between the access point and the wireless network
adapters. Note: High network traffic areas should use the shorter preamble
type.
