802.11b Preamble
: Specifies the preamble setting in 802.11b. The default setting is Short &
Long (access point mode), which allows both short and long headers in the 802.11b
frames. The adapter can only use short radio headers if the access point supports and uses
them. Set to
Long Only
to override allowing short frames.
¾
Wireless Mode
: Specifies 5 GHz 54 Mbps or 2.4 GHz 54 Mbps or 2.4 GHz 11 Mbps
operation in an access point network. The wireless adapter must match the wireless mode of
the access point with which it associates.
¾
Wireless Mode when Starting an Ad Hoc Network
: Specifies 5G/2.4 GHz 54/11 Mbps to
start an Ad Hoc network if no matching network name is found after scanning all available
modes. This mode also allows the selection of the channel the wireless adapter uses. The
channels available depend on the regulatory domain. If the adapter finds no other ad hoc
adapters, the channel that the adapter starts the ad hoc network with will be selected
automatically.
¾
802.11 Authentication Mode
: Select which mode the wireless adapter uses to authenticate
to an access point:
•
Automatic
causes the adapter to attempt authentication using shared, but switches it to
open authentication if shared fails.
•
Open
System
enables an adapter to attempt authentication regardless of its WEP
settings. It will only associate with the access point if the W EP keys on both the adapter
and the access point match.
•
Shared-key
only allows the adapter to associate with access points that have the same
WEP key
.
For infrastructure (access point) networks, click
Preferred APs
to specify up to four access points
to the client adapter that attempts to be associated to the access points. The four access points
have different priorities; the frontal has the higher priority.
