Select the operating mode from the Operating Mode: drop-down list.
Infrastructure: Select Infrastructure to enable the mobile computer to transmit and
receive data with an AP. Infrastructure is the mobile computer default mode when
Mobile Companion initially appears.
Ad Hoc: 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.
Select the Long preamble check box if the mobile computer and its profile are using a
long preamble when transmitting data. A long preamble is approximately 8 bytes of the
packet header attached to the packet prior to transmission. Devices in Ad Hoc mode are
required to use the same preamble length to interoperate. The mobile computer
initiating the Ad Hoc network sets the channel (using the Channel drop-down list) used
by each peer in the Ad Hoc network.
Select the country of operation for the mobile computer from the Country: drop-down list.
This ensures the mobile computer is using country code information compatible with the
country code data used by the associated AP.
