Using the Configuration Utility
Configuration
SSID:
The Service Set Identifier is the name assigned to the wireless network. The
factory SSID setting is set to default. Make changes here to match the SSID
on the existing Wireless Router or Access Point.
Wireless Mode:
Infrastructure is the factory default setting. Ad-Hoc mode is used for peer-to-
peer networking. See the Getting Started section in this manual for examples of
these network types.
Channel:
The default channel setting is channel 6. In Infrastructure mode, the
DWL-120+ will automatically select the channel to match the channel setting
for the selected Access Point. In Ad Hoc mode, the channel must be manually
set to the same channel for each wireless adapter.
Tx Rate:
You can adjust the transmission rate to get the best signal possible depending on
your usage and your environment. The Tx Rate will be determined automatically
by signal strength. Default is set to Auto.
Preamble:
Select Long or Short Preamble. The Preamble defines the length of the
CRC block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a common technique for detecting
data transmission errors) for communication between the Access Point and
the roaming wireless Network adapters. Long Preamble is the default setting.
High network traffic areas should use the Short Preamble.
Power Mode:
Select from three modes:
Continuous Access Mode - this default setting consumes the most power
Maximum Power Save - this setting consumes the least power
Power Save - this setting consumes a moderate amount of power
Click Apply to save changes.
