Profile:
You can save various wireless settings for different environment. The system
allows you to have 5 different configurations.
Network Name:
It is also known as SSID and is the unique name shared among all points
in the wireless network. The SSID must be identical for all points in the network. It is case
sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters
.
Network Type:
This field allows you to select from a list of supported Network “Modes”. The modes
displayed have two values: “Peer-to-Peer” and “Access Point”.
Peer-to-Peer:
This is the 802.11 peer-to-peer mode of operation. All communication is
done from Client to Client without the use of an Access Point. Peer-to-Peer networking
uses the same SSID for establishing the wireless connection.
Access Point:
This mode of operation requires the presence of an 802.11 Access Point.
All communication is done via the Access Point, which relays packets to other wireless
Clients in the BSS as well as to nodes on a wired network such as Ethernet.
Peer-to-Peer channel:
This specifies the channel used in wireless communication and
should be set to same channel as the other points in the wireless network. This setting can
only be adjusted in Peer-to-Peer mode.
TX Rate:
The transmission rate at which client of AP transmits the data packets. You may
set this to Auto 1 or 2 Mb, 5.5 Mb, 11 Mb, or Fully Automatic.
