WLAN PC Card will connect to another computer for file sharing
and network access.
Note: The
Peer to Peer (Proprietary Ad Hoc)
operating mode is
used for testing the WLAN link and is not used for normal WLAN
access.
In the
Network Name (SSID)
field, you can set the SSID for your
Wireless LAN. If you don’t know the appropriate SSID, you can
enter “any” to allow your WLAN PC Card to connect to an AP (or
peer computer) regardless of the AP’s SSID.
The
Mandatory AP address
field allows you to enter the MAC
address of the AP (Access Point) that your WLAN PC Card is to
communicate with. If you enter an AP’s MAC address in this field,
your WLAN PC Card can only connect with the AP that has this
MAC address on your network.
Note: A MAC address is a unique 12-byte address assigned by the
manufacturer to every Ethernet device. It is entered in
hexadecimal form using the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A
through F. An example MAC address is
00 50 BA 14 C8 1E
where each character represents one binary byte.
If you do not know these values and settings, you can accept the
defaults for now and enter (or modify) the settings later using the
WLAN PC Card management utilities provided in the
Plus Pack
.
Clicking on the
Battery Usage
tab will open the
Mobile Unit Power
Settings
dialog box shown below.
