ESSID
The ESS ID is the unique ID used by Access Points and stations to identify a wireless LAN.
Wireless clients associating to any Access Point must have the same ESSID. The default
setting is ANY, which allows your MiniPCI Wireless Adapter to automatically associate to any
Access Point (Infrastructure mode) in the vicinity of your wireless adapter. Alternatively, you
may check the ESS ID check box to specify the ESS ID. It will then attempt to associate with
Access Points or stations with the same ESS ID. The ESS ID can be set up to 32 characters
and is case sensitive.
If there two Access Points with the same ESSID, you may check the BSS ID check box and
enter the MAC address of the Access Point you desire to connect to.
Transmit Rate
The GL2454MP-0I MiniPCI Wireless Adapter provides various data rate options for you to
select. Data rates options include Fully Auto, 2 Mbps, 1 or 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, and 11 Mbps.
In most networking scenarios, you will see that the factory-set default "Fully Auto" will prove
the most efficient. This setting will allow your GL2454MP-0I MiniPCI Wireless Adapter to
operate at the maximum data rate. When the communications quality drops below a certain
level, the PCI Card will automatically switch to a lower data rate. Transmission at lower data
speeds are usually more reliable. However, when the communications quality improves again,
the GL2454MP-0I MiniPCI Wireless Adapter will gradually increase the data rate again, until it
has reached the highest available transmit rate.
