Authentication Type
Indication of an authentication algorithm which can be supported by this
node:
Open System: Open System authentication is the simplest of the available authentication
algorithms. Essentially it is a null authentication algorithm. Any station that requests
authentication with this algorithm may become authenticated if dot11AuthenticationType at
the recipient station is set to Open System authentication.
Shared Key: Shared Key authentication supports authentication of STAs as either a
member of those who know a shared secret key or a member of those who do not.
Auto Switch authentication is the default authentication algorithm.

Select “Desired BSS Type” and set up the value: “A d-hoc”, “Any” or Infrastructure”.
An Ad-Hoc wireless LAN is a group of computers each with LAN adapters, connected as an
independent wireless LAN.
An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure
configuration.
Note
:
“Infrastructure” mode allows a wireless adapter to communicate with a wired
network, 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.

Select “Channel” from the list, and choose a “Value” from the drop down list. FCC
