• Select Ad Hoc to enable the mobile computer to form its own local network
where mobile computers communicate peer-to-peer without APs using a
shared ESSID. If you select this, enter a 32-character maximum ESSID in the
802.11 ESSID field to identify the wireless local area network. This ESSID must
match the ESSID of other devices using the Ad Hoc mode.
Enter the channel number in the Channel field. The first adapter configured in
the Ad Hoc network defines the channel number used in the Ad Hoc network.
Each adapter is required to use the same channel to transmit and receive data
to its peers.
Select the Long Preamble checkbox if the other devices in your network are
using a long preamble. Devices using Ad Hoc mode must use the same
preamble setting to interoperate. The adapter uses a long preamble heading by
default.
• Use the Country: drop-down list to select the country of operation for the mobile
computer. This ensures the mobile computer is using country code information
compatible with the country code data used by the associated AP. Select
International if using the mobile computer with a non-Symbol AP or a pre AP-
4131 model.
