IBSS Tab
When communicating in a peer-to-peer network, you may specify a channel on which you prefer
communications to take place. To specify a channel, click on the channel to select it, and then click the
Apply
button.
Note that this is not necessarily the channel on which peer-to-peer communications will be established.
If the IBSS network names (SSID) are the same for nodes in the peer-to-peer network but they have
different preferred channels, a network can still be established. In this case, if it cannot find a network
with the specified network name on the preferred channel, a station will scan other channels until it finds
a peer-to-peer network with the specified network name on which to communicate.
If you specified
Access Point
as the network type (in the
Configuration
Tab), choosing a channel in
this field has no effect until you change the network type to
Peer-to-Peer
.
