Controlling the 802.11 Radio Usage

The CK61 is able to support 802.11 radio usage of either the A-band
(5GHz) or the B/G-band (2.4GHz).
To determine which band your CK61 is supporting
• Tap Start > Settings > the System tab > the BandEnable icon.
To change the band to enable
• Select the desired band, tap ok, then perform a warm boot for the new
setting to take effect.
Your CK61 may be capable of using both bands or just the B/G band. The
BandEnable applet can enable or mask usage of any band the CK61 is
capable of using. The band setting defaults to enable all available bands. At
least one band must be enabled.
To read the current enabled operating bands, call DeviceIoControl using
IOCTL_NDISUIO_QUERY_OID_VALUE with the parameter
OID_GET_BAND. This returns the enabled bands masked by what the
CK61 supports.
Note: If "Registry Restore" is enabled, you must flush the registry before
cold booting or the change will be lost.
You can use the CK61 directly in an Ethernet network if you have ordered
the Ethernet option on your CK61 and you insert it into a dock. The
communications dock as an Ethernet connector makes it possible for the
CK61 to communicate with your Ethernet network.
To use the CK61 in an Ethernet network, configure the Network Name
(SSID), Host IP Address, IP Settings (if not using DHCP), and Network
Port parameters on each CK61 in the network. If required for your
network, set the Primary and Secondary DNS Server and Primary and
Secondary WINS Server parameters on each CK61 in the network.
