Configuration
Network Mode
Two modes are available. The default is Infrastructure.
Ad Hoc - This is the 802.11 peer-to-peer mode of operation. In 802.11Ad
Hoc only one wireless cell is supported for each different SSID.
Communication is Client-to-Client without the use of an Access Point.
802.11 Ad Hoc networking uses the same SSID for establishing the wireless
connection.
Infrastructure - This mode of operation requires an 802.11 Access Point.
All communication is done via the Access Point, which relays packets to
other wireless Clients in the BSS as well as to nodes on a wired network
such as Ethernet.
Preamble
Two different Preambles are available. The default is Long.
Long Preamble - The mandatory supported Long Preamble inter-operates
with the current 1 Mbit/s and 2 Mbit/s DSSS specification (as described in
IEEE Std 802.11).
Short Preamble - The optional Short Preamble is intended for applications
where maximum throughput is desired and interoperability with legacy and
non-short-preamble capable equipment is not a consideration. That is, the
Short Preamble is intended to be used only in networks of like equipment,
all of which can handle the optional mode.
TX Rate
The TX Rate is the transmission rate at which the data packets are
transmitted. You can set this to these fixed values: 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5
Mbps or 11 Mbps. The default is Auto.
Update Button
This button becomes active only when one of the fields has been changed.
Click this button to apply the changes to the driver and to save them to the
registry for the next time the PC boots up.
