SSID (Service Set Identifier)
The SSID is the ID used for uniquely identifying a wireless network (WLAN) so that this
network can be distinguished from a parallel network. Within a WLAN, all the network
adapters must have the same SSID.
ì
In the
SSID
field, select the ID of the partner you want to connect your PC to.
The default setting is
ConnectionPoint
.
The order for defining the SSID depends on the
Network Mode
of the WLAN:
u
Infrastructure
:
The SSID must be defined on the access point first. This SSID is then assigned auto-
matically to every network adapter registering with it.
u
AdHoc
:
It is important that all network adapters use the same SSID. The order of entry is
irrelevant.
Network Mode
ì
Enter the
Network Mode
for the network environment:
–
Infrastructure
:
There are wireless (WLAN) and wired (LAN) PCs in the network environment.
The connection between WLAN and LAN is set up via an access point.
–
AdHoc
:
The network environment does not have a fixed structure, rather is set up
between the available wireless network adapters as and when required. No
access point is required.
The default operating mode is Infrastructure.
You will find a detailed description of the operating modes in Section "Wireless LAN
basics" on page 6.
Channel
The
Channel
field shows the radio channel used to set up communication with the con-
nection partners. You can choose from radio channels 1-13.
In
Infrastructure
mode, the radio channel is set by the access point for all WLAN partic-
ipants and can only be changed there. In this case, the
Channel
field shows the channel
being used.
In
AdHoc
mode, you set the network adapter channel manually.
ì
Select the channel used by the desired connection partners in the ad-hoc network.
If you use a PC with the operating system Windows Vista, the channel will be set
automatically in the
AdHoc
operational mode.
