NOTE:
A. You many change the I/O Base and IRQ Level which setting should be unique and
avoid any possible conflicts with other system devices.
B. Mode : “Infrastructure” mode allows a wireless adapter to communicate with a wired
network by connecting with an Access Point, while “Ad-Hoc” and “802.11b Ad-Hoc”
mode allows wireless-to-wireless communication. Consult your System Administrator
for information about your network communication type. For more information about
Infrastructure and Ad-Hoc networks, see Chapter 2 of this manual.
C. SSID : The SSID can have any value, but should have the same value as the Access
Point (AP) in the “Infrastructure Mode”. In Ad-Hoc mode, all clients should share the
same SSID for communication.
D. DS Channel : Select “Channel” from the list and choose a “Value” from the drop down
list. FCC regulations require a “Value” between 1 and 11 and ETSI between 1 and 13.
E : Tx Rate : Fixed 11 Mb/s is the preferred “Value” for environments where the client
has line of sight access and is a short distance away from the AP. Fully Auto is the
recommended setting for clients that are farther away from the AP and where there may
be interference between the client and the AP.
F : RTS Threshold, Fragmentation Threshold, WEP, ATIM Windows and Listen Interval:
See Appendix B Glossary
G . Power Saving : To allow uninterrupted data communication, choose “Disabled” as
the ”Value”. Choosing “Enabled” allows your notebook to enter “sleep” mode, however,
this will interrupt data communication. Consult your System Administrator to find out the
best setting for your network type. For more information about Power Save Mode, see
the chapter entitled “PRISM Configuration Utility” in this manual.
8. Click “Close” from the “Network” dialog, Windows NT will auto-bind the new adapter with
any network protocols already installed on the system.
