2. On the Association tab, enter the Network name.
3.
Enable “Connect even if this network is not broadcasting” to prevent the PC from
disconnecting when a device is not immediately found already connected to this
network.
4. Now, select the
“This is a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network” at the bottom of
the window. (This will limit the number of choices you have on Data encryption to just
Open and WEP.)
5.
Deselect the option “The key is provided for me automatically” in order to be able to
enter the key manually.
6. Select the Network authentication and Data encryption to be used. See 5.4 Setting
WLAN keys and security for the corresponding settings of the BlackBird. The PC and
BlackBird must have identical settings. If you choose WEP as the encryption method,
you need to enter both the key (hexadecimal format) and key index. (See 5.4.3 About
Static WEP keys for more information about keys and key indices.) We recommend
trying Open network authentication without any data encryption to get the
communication with the BlackBird working. Later you can repeat this setup adding
encryption.
7. Click OK to exit the Wireless network properties.
8. Click OK to exit the Wireless Network Connection Properties.
8.3 Connecting your PC to the Ad-hoc network
To connect your PC to the newly created ad-hoc net:
1. Open up the Network Connections windows (Start->Settings->Network Connections)
2. Select the wireless network connection you want to use for BlackBird
communication. Right click and select “View Available Wireless Networks”
