LABEL DESCRIPTION
Wireless Mode An 802.11b_AdHoc network is the simplest WLAN configuration, defined as two or
more wireless devices within range of each other that form an independent network
without the need of an access point (AP).
Select
Infrastructure to access an AP.
SSID (Service Set ID) The SSID identifies the Service Set with which a wireless station is
associated. Wireless stations associating to the access point (AP) must have the
same SSID. You can think of the SSID as being similar to a workgroup name in a
Microsoft network.
Channel(1-11) A channel is a radio frequency used by IEEE 802.11b wireless devices. Channels
available depend on the AP to which you connect. The channel is determined
automatically using the site survey feature.
Rate The closer you are to an AP the stronger the signal and the faster the connection.
Choose Auto to have the Prestige determine the best setting for your connection
type.
WEP If you are using a public AP, select None .
Select the length of WEP keys ( 64bits or 128bits ) that the AP uses.
You must configure a WEP encryption key if the AP uses WEP.
Key 1 ~ 4 The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the Prestige and the AP must use the
same WEP key.
If you chose 64-bit WEP, then enter 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal characters
("0-9", "A-F").
If you chose 128-bit WEP, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal
characters ("0-9", "A-F").
You must configure all four keys, but only one key can be activated at any one time.
The default key is Key 1 .
