At the
“CONFIGURE”
tab you can view current
settings for:
ESSID –
The ESSID is a unique ID given to the
Access Point. Wireless clients using the
same Access Point, must have the same
ESSID as the Access Point.
Note:
Specifying an ESSID will prevent you
from inadvertently connecting to a different
wireless network.
Network Type –
Use “Infrastructure” mode if you
will be using an Access Point in your
network. Use “ad-hoc”, if you will not be
using an Access Point. Ad-hoc requires the same channel and the same ESSID
for all computers on the network. 802.11 Ad-hoc acquires the same channel
and ESSID among all wireless stations.
PS Mode –
The “Power Save” mode is used to save battery life while the Wireless
Compact Flash Adapter goes into sleep mode.
Note:
In “Power Save” mode, the Access Points used must support “Power
Saving” for communication to be established.
Tx Rate –
The default transfer rate of “Fully Auto” or “Auto rate” is the most
efficient choice since it will allow the
DCF-650W
to adjust to the most
optimal transfer rate available. However, options are provided for setting a
fixed transfer rate.
You may make modifications to these settings if needed.

after you made the necessary changes.
