Table 11 Wireless Network Page (continued)
Setting Description
Antenna Selection Select an antenna for the radio signal:
Data Preamble To increase performance, click Short (Enhanced performance).
When equipment that does not support short preamble is also
being used, click Long (Wi-Fi Interoperable).
Note: The Data Preamble option is available in ad-hoc mode
only. However, the Short Data Preamble option is not available
for 802.11a and 802.11a Turbo modes in ad-hoc mode.
On the Advanced Wireless Network page, you can manually select the
radio channels and radio modes. The Ethernet Adapter only looks for a
best SSID that matches the specified radio mode on the specified
channels.
Operating in ad-hoc mode, two or more Ethernet Adapters can associate
among themselves to form an ad-hoc network without the intervention
of an access point. You may wish to set up an ad-hoc network, for
example, if a group is working away from the office, or if a group in the
office needs to share files apart from the wired LAN.
CAUTION: To ensure correct operation, the settings on the two Ethernet
Adapters must match exactly. To avoid the possibility of losing wireless
association while you are configuring, Enterasys Networks recommends
that you connect the Ethernet Adapter directly to the computer.
VORSICHT: Um einen fehlerfreien Betrieb zu gewährleisten, müssen die
Einstellungen auf den beiden Ethernet-Adaptern genau übereinstimmen.
Es wird empfohlen, den Ethernet-Adapter direkt mit dem Computer zu
verbinden, um während der Konfiguration die drahtlose Verbindung
nicht zu verlieren.
Using the Configuration Management System
Internal—this default setting should be used in most
circumstances.
External and one internal antenna—this setting
automatically determines which antenna is best for sending
packets to individually attached clients. Choose this setting
if the Ethernet Adapter is located in a place that is
surrounded or hindered by metal paths or walls.
