Description
Wireless
Mode
Infrastructure
Sets the operation mode of a wireless LAN.
(Option: Ad-Hoc, Infrastructure)
•
Ad-Hoc :
Use the WiComm-1 in Ad-Hoc mode. The Ad-Hoc mode allows
1:1 communication with a client in another Ad-Hoc mode.
•
Infrastructure :
Use the WiComm-1 in Infrastructure mode. The
Infrastructure mode is the mode that the WiComm-1 accesses to a
wireless AP as a client and then accesses to another network through the
AP.

Mode
802.11b/g
Mixed
Sets the operation protocol of a wireless network.
(Option: 802.11b/g Mixed, 802.11b only, 802.11g only)
802.11b/g Mixed: Use 802.11b and 802.11g together.
•
802.11b only
: Use only 802.11b.
•
802.11g only
: Use only 802.11g.
Wireless
Network
Name
(SSID)
None
Sets the identification (SSID) of a wireless network to be connected.
(Up to 32 bytes)
Channel Auto
Selects a frequency channel for wireless connection.
(Option: Auto, 1 ~ 13)
•
Auto
: Connect a channel specified in AP automatically. In most cases,
this setting is used.
•
Value Specification
: Specify a channel to be connected manually.
Bitrate Auto
Sets the speed for wireless connection.
(Option: Auto, 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54Mbps)
The setting as Auto adjusts the speed depending on signal sensitivity and
noise. In most cases, this setting is used.
If Wireless Network mode is set to 802.11b/g Mixed, all options can be
selected.
The setting as 802.11b only allows setting as 1, 2, 5.5 and 11Mbps.
The setting as 802.11g only allows setting as 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and
54Mbps.
RTS
Threshold
0
Sets the minimum packet size to send RTS in a communication node.
(Range: 1 ~ 2347 bytes)
This setting adds the RTS/CTS handshake procedure to verify that the
transmission channel is empty before transmitting a packet.
In most cases, this setting is not used.
The setting as ‘0’ or ‘2347’ disables this function.
Fragment
Threshold
0
Sets the maximum packet size to send a packet after dividing into small
pieces. (Range: 256 ~ 2346 bytes)
This setting transmits a packet after dividing into small pieces.
Communication overhead is increased but communication error can be
reduced in serious interference or noise environment.
In most cases, this setting is not used.
The setting as ‘0’ or ‘2346’ disables this function.
802.11h Disable
Sets whether to use of the 802.11h spectrum management function.
(Option: Disable, Enable)
The 802.11h function is the system management standard to minimize
the influence of the interference in wireless communication.
If this setting is enabled, the WiComm-1 automatically adjusts the
communication channel and the transmission strength to minimize the
interference.
