D1: What is SSID? What should I set in the SSID field?
SSID stands for Service Set Identification, which is the ID to form the
Wireless Network. You can set up to 32 characters in the SSID field.
For the Infrastructure Mode, you should set the SSID the same as the
Access Point been connected with. To create a 802.11 Ad Hoc Net-
work, the SSID must be the same among stations to enable the
wireless communication within the local area network.
You need to choose a proper SSID and channel for the first 802.11
Ad Hoc station. For other stations want to join the same SSID group,
you could only choose the same SSID as the first station, but the
channel will not take effect. The 802.11 Ad Hoc must enter the proper
SSID. Blank SSID for the 802.11 Ad Hoc Mode is not allowed. The
stations want to join the 802.11 Ad Hoc Network must have the same
SSID and are suggested to have the same IP Address in the Net-
work group.
D2: Why can't I choose the "Channel" and "Country" field in "Infra-
structure" Mode?
For the Infrastructure Mode, the Country and Channel are decided by
the Access Point. You can only join the existing Access Point formed
Wireless Network but not create a new Wireless Network. That is the
reason why you can't set the "Channel" and "Country" settings.
D3: When should I set the IP address, Subnet mask and Default gate-
way settings?
When the Wireless Network does not have the DHCP server, you
should set your own IP address, Submask and Default gateway for
Wireless Network connection. Otherwise, the OS might set the differ-
ent Network group IP address for you, which will cause the discon-
nection for the Wireless Network.
D4: How can I set the IP address, Subnet mask and Default gateway
settings?
S i m p l y c l i c k S t a r t
adapter IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter Properties IP Address
to set IP address, Subnet mask and Default gateway settings.
D5: What Transmit Rate should I choose for Wireless Connection?
Suggest you to use the "Fully Auto" option in the "Transmission Rate"
field for full Transmission Data Rate range to automatically adjust
the Best Communication Data Rate and to be compatible with other
Low speed 802.11 Wireless Device.
