Configuration
This configuration
screen displays the
default settings for
the DWL-G520
To communicate on the network all devices must have the
same settings for the following properties:
SSID - (Service Set Identifier) is a name that identifies a wireless network. Access
Points and wireless clients attempting to connect to a specific WLAN (Wireless Local
Area Network) must use the same SSID. The default setting is default.
Wireless Mode - Click on the pull-down menu; select from the following options:
Infrastructure - connecting the WLAN using an Access Point. (The default
setting.)
Ad-Hoc – wireless mode used when connecting directly to a computer equipped
with a wireless adapter in a peer-to-peer environment.
Channel – The default channel setting is channel 6. However, the DWL-G520 will
automatically select the channel to match the channel setting for the selected Access
Point. In Ad Hoc mode, the channel must be manually set to the same channel for
each wireless adapter.
TX Rate - Select the transmission rate on the network. Auto is the default setting.
TX rates are automatically determined by the DWL-G520 depending on the distance
from the access point.
Preamble - Auto is the default setting. The Preamble defines the length of the CRC
block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a common technique for detecting data
transmission errors) for communication between the Access Point and the wireless
Network adapters. Note: High network traffic areas should use the shorter preamble
type.
Power Mode – Select from three modes:
Continuous Access Mode-this default setting consumes the most power
Maximum Power Save-this setting consumes the least power
Power Save- this setting consumes a moderate amount of power
If any changes are made to the configuration of the wireless adapter, click Apply
to save the changes.
