3.2.2 Configuration
Basic tab
The Basic tab provides general
information on network types and
other configurations.
Network Type. Select the type of
network that you wish to use. Select
Infrastructure mode to establish a
connection with an access point
(AP). In this mode, your system can
access wireless LAN and wired LAN
(Ethernet) via the AP. Select the Ad
Hoc mode to communicate directly
with other mobile clients within the A202 adaptor's range.
Network Name - Displays the network SSID. The network SSID is a
string used to identify a wireless LAN. Assign different SSIDs to segment
the wireless LAN and increase network security. Set the SSID to a null
string to allow your station to connect to any available access point. A
Null string may not be used in Ad-hoc mode.
Channel. In Infrastructure mode, the A202 automatically tunes in to the
access point channel. In Ad-hoc mode, you need to specify the channel
to use.
Data Rate. Sets the data transmission rate to Fix or Auto. Select Fully Auto
to allow the device to adjust to the most suitable connection. You may also
fix the data transfer rate to 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 11, 9, 6, 5.5, 2 and 1
Mbps.
Note: Operating the device at very high data rates reduces the operating
range. When the "Data Rate" is changed, the A202 will survey all available
APs and connect to the AP with the strongest signal.
Others. Click the WEP or Advanced link to open the Encryption or
Advanced property tab sheet.
