SSID – Input an SSID for the wireless network to which you want
to connect. To roam among multiple access points with different
BSSIDs, set the SSID to ANY to allow connection to any access
point. (Default: ANY)
Operating Mode – Set the adapter's operating mode to 802.11
AdHoc for a network enviroment that does not have an access
point, or to Infrastructure for connections with an access point.
Transmit Rate – Indicates the data transmission rate. Select an
appropriate transmission speed. Lower speeds will give better
range.
Channel – If you are setting up an ad hoc wireless network (see
"Network Topologies" on page 31), set the channel number to the
same radio channel as that used by the other wireless clients in
your group. However, if you are connecting to a network via an
access point, then the channel is automatically set by the access
point to the channel that it uses.
You only need to manually set the channel when the Operating
Mode is 802.11 AdHoc.
