SSID:
The Service Set Identifier is the
name assigned to the wireless
network. The factory SSID set-
ting is set to default. Make
changes here to match the
SSID on the existing wireless
router or access point.
Tx Rate:
You can adjust the transmission rate to get the best signal possible depending
on your usage and your environment. The Tx Rate will be determined automati-
cally by signal strength. Default is set to Auto.
Power Mode:
Select from three modes:
Continuous Access Mode - this default setting consumes the most power
Maximum Power Save - this setting consumes the least power
Power Save - this setting consumes a moderate amount of power
Click Apply to save changes.
Preamble:
Select Long or Short Preamble. The Preamble defines the length of the
CRC block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a common technique for detecting
data transmission errors) for communication between the access point and
the roaming wireless network adapters. Long Preamble is the default setting.
High network traffic areas should use the Short Preamble.
Channel:
The default channel setting is channel 6. In Infrastructure mode, the
DWL-G120 will automatically select the channel to match the channel setting
for the selected access point. In Ad-Hoc mode, the channel must be manually
set to the same channel for each wireless adapter.
