Network Name (SSID): A Network Name is mandatory for ad hoc
mode. The SSID for all stations in a single ad hoc network must be
the same.
−
Network Connection: Ad Hoc.
−
Power Saving: Power saving mode is not currently supported in an ad
hoc network.
−
Turbo Mode: All stations participating in the ad hoc network must
have the same rate setting.
−
Locally Administered Address: This field defines the locally
administered MAC address (LAA). To enter a value in the address
field, the check box needs to be selected.
2. You can optionally set up security features, but it is not typically a
requirement because the duration of the ad hoc network tends to be
limited. Currently, shared key security is supported in ad hoc mode.
Future D-Link software implementations will provide unique key support.
