802.11d Supported
If your PRISM adapter supports 802.11d operation, the
Domain
menu lets you specify one of three
levels of 802.11d support.
If you specify
None
in the
802.11d support
field, you must then choose the county in the
Countries/Domains
field which corresponds to your location. In this case your adapter operates according to the standards set by the
appropriate regulatory agency.
Note:
If you specify
Peer-to-Peer
as the network type, you must specify
None
in the
802.11d support
field.
If you choose
Strict
in the
802.11d support
field, your adapter will only communicate with Access
Points which provide 802.11d support. In this case, the adapter scans all communications channels for
an Access Point which provides information on the channels, frequencies, and power levels permitted in
your location. Once it finds such an Access Point, the adapter conforms its operations to these standards.
The adapter will not communicate with an Access Point that does not provide this information, nor will
it join or create a peer-to-peer network if Strict 802.11d support is specified in this field.
If you choose
Flexible
in this field, your adapter can communicate with any Access Point it finds. In this
case, you must also choose the county in the
Countries/Domains
field which corresponds to your
location. Your adapter then searches for an Access Point which provides information on the channels,
frequencies, and power levels permitted in your location. If it finds such an Access Point, the adapter
conforms its operations to these standards.
If it does not find an Access Point which provides this information, it then will establish
communications with any Access Point it finds.
