ESSID
The ESS ID is the unique ID used by Access Points and stations to identify a wireless LAN.
Wireless clients associating to any Access Point must have the same ESSID. The default
setting is ANY, which allows your Wireless LAN PC Card to automatically associate to any
Access Point (Infrastructure mode) in the vicinity of your wireless adapter. Alternatively, you
may check the
ESS ID
check box to specify the ESS ID. It will then attempt to associate with
Access Points or stations with the same ESS ID. The ESS ID can be set up to
32 characters
and is case sensitive.

If there two Access Points with the same ESSID, you may check the BSS ID check box and
enter the MAC address of the Access Point you desire to connect to.

Transmit Rate
The 11Mbps Wireless LAN CF Card provides various data rate options for you to select. Data
rates options include
Fully Auto
,
2 Mb, Auto 1 or 2 Mb
,
5.5 Mb
, and
11 Mb
. In most
networking scenarios, you will see that the factory-set default “
Fully Auto
” will prove the most
efficient. This setting will allow your 11Mbps Wireless LAN CF Card to operate at the
maximum data rate. When the communications quality drops below a certain level, the CF
Card will automatically switch to a lower data rate. Transmission at lower data speeds are
usually more reliable. However, when the communications quality improves again, the
11Mbps Wireless LAN CF Card will gradually increase the data rate again, until it has reached
the highest available transmit rate.
