• Pseudo IBSS (Proprietary Ad Hoc) allows the highest throughput in an IBSS
network for terminal testing. Pseudo IBSS does not support PSP terminals
and does not use beacons or authentication. Each terminal must be on the
same channel. If you select this option, the Signal and Peers tabs are no
longer available. Pseudo IBSS is not recommended as a normal operational
mode or for terminals operating on battery power.
• IBSS (802.11 Ad Hoc) enables terminals to form their own local network
where they can communicate peer-to-peer without access points. Use IBSS
to create networks within established cells. Terminals take turns generating
beacons and handling probe responses. The terminal starting the IBSS
network (i.e., the first terminal transmitting a beacon) determines the
channel number and data rate used within the network.
• Enter a 32-character (maximum) case-sensitive ESS ID (802.11 Extended
Service Set Identifier) in the 802.11 ESSID field to identify the wireless local
area network. This identifier must match the ESSID in the 802.11 access
point(s) on your network in order for your WLAN adapter to communicate with
the access point(s). If you don't know your ESSID, ask your IS department
personnel for assistance.
• The Mandatory AP address is the IEEE MAC address of the access point (AP)
where the adapter must associate. The adapter only associates to this access
point when communicating on the network.
