SSID (Service Set Identifier)
The SSID is the ID used for the unique identification of a wireless network (WLAN) so
that this network can be distinguished from a parallel network, for example. 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
automatically to every network adapter registering with it.
u
Ad Hoc
:
It is important that all the network adapters use the same SSID. The order of entry is
irrelevant.
Operating 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.
–
Ad Hoc
:
The network environment does not have a fixed structure, but 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 the chapter "Wireless LAN
basics" on page 4.
Note:
In Ad Hoc mode, the device always will work in 802.11b transmission mode, i.e. with
a maximum transmission rate of 11 Mbps. You should therefore set up an Access
Point so that you can transfer large volumes of data quickly.
