Mode
Select from a list of supported Network “Modes”. The modes
displayed will have three values: “802.11 Ad Hoc”, “ Ad Hoc”, and
“Infrastructure”.
802.11 Ad Hoc - This is the 802.11 peer-to-peer mode of operation.
In 802.11Ad Hoc only one wireless “cell” is supported for each
different SSID. All communication is done from Client to Client
without the use of an Access Point. 802.11 Ad Hoc networking use
the same SSID for establishing the wireless connection.
Ad Hoc - A non-compliant mode that will allow Prism2 (and only
Prism2) cards to talk with one another without an AP regardless
any SSID. Since it is not standards compliant, it would have the
interpretability with non-Prism2 radios.
Infrastructure - This mode of operation requires the presence of
an 802.11 Access Point. All communication is done via the Access
Point, which relays packets to other wireless clients in the BSS and
to nodes on a wired network such as Ethernet.
TX Rate – The transmission rate at which the AP client transmits
data packets. You can set this to fixed 1 Mbps, fixed 2 Mbps, fixed
5.5 Mbps, or 11 Mbps.
PS Mode - Power saving mode.
