What the options mean
Allows selection of the way the wireless option communicates.
• Infrastructure - factory default. The wireless option must go through an access point.
• Pseudo IBSS - uses a proprietary, peer-to-peer communication without an access point. The
two peers must be specific to one manufacturer.
• Ad Hoc - uses a standard, peer-to-peer communication without an access point. The two
peers can be from different manufacturers.
A 1 to 32 character, case-sensitive string that identifies the Extended Service Set Identification
(ESS_ID) network with which the unit is affiliated. ESS_ID is also referred to as NET_ID.
This character string is broken up into three sets. This menu allows a psecific set to be selected
and the idenitification entered into the menu screen that follows.
These characters may be alphanumeric, symbols, or spaces.
This menu allows the determination of if the SSID Name is too be reset.
Minimum Tranfer Rate. Allows the minimum speed at which the wireless option will accept a
connection to be set in millions of bits per second.
• Auto-negociate - factory default. Automatically selects.
• 1Mb/sec. - 1 million bits per second.
• 2Mb/sec. - 2 million bits per second.
• 5.5Mb/sec. - 5.5 million bits per second.
Allows the wireless channel to be selected for the device to communicate.
• Default - factory default. the interface card detects the correct channel to communicate with
the Access Point in infrastructure mode.
• Select Channel - the allowable range is 1 to 15.
Antenna Diversity. Allows the type of antenna to be used to be selected.
• Diverse - factory default. Select to use the antenna with the best reception.
• Primary - select to use the primary antenna on the server.
• Auxiliary - select to use the auxiliary antenna on the server.
Allows the preamble length in tranfer packets to be selected. Preamble is the delay needed
between packets of data. The preamble selection is dependent on the network.
• Default - factory default. The wireless option automatically determines the length.
• Short - preamble of 96 microseconds. This is appropriate for most newer networks.
• Long - preamble of 192 microseconds. This is for legacy systems that do not support the
higher preamble rates.
