• Network Name
The network name (also called SSID) is an unambiguous
network name which has to be identical for all subscribers
of the same wireless network. Capital and lower case
writing are distinguished. As a maximum, the network
name consists of 32 alphanumerical characters. Make sure
that all subscribers of the wireless network use the same
network name. In AC operation, no network name is factory
set. The AC will therefore try to log on to an available
access point, irrespective of its network name. This setting
is also called “ANY”.
• Regulatory Domain
This setting is only relevant if the BAT 11b-AC is to be
operated in ad-hoc mode. For the operation of the access
client, country-specific regulations referring to the
selectable channels have to be observed. Specify the
country or region where the device is to be operated.
• Channel
This setting is only relevant if the BAT 11b-AC is to be
operated in ad-hoc mode. In this case, select the channel
used by the ad-hoc network from the list of available
channels. If required, set the other subscribers of the ad-
hoc network to the same channel. If you wish to use
channels 12 and 13, please make sure beforehand that the
corresponding clients do support these channels and that
the correct regulatory domain has been selected. As a rule,
this applies to products which can also be operated in the
USA, since there only channels 1 to 11 are admitted (e.g.
our USB adapter).
Note: The number of the available channels is not identical
for all devices. You should therefore also refer to the
technical documentation for your product. As a rule,
channels 1 to 11 are mostly available.
• Transmission Rate
The transmission rate should be adapted to your wireless
network. As a rule, this is done automatically. Under
