Field
Operating Mode 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 use 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 must 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.
Note: For mobile computers with a Bluetooth radio, the Bluetooth radio must be turned off when using 802.11b Ad Hoc mode, otherwise
the Ad Hoc connection fails.
Country 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.
Authentication
Select the Authentication tab to configure server-based authentication. Select one of the following Authentication options from the
Authentication drop-down list.
• None - Default setting when authentication is not required on the network. The client adapter does not use any
authentication scheme when Open System is selected on the Encryption tab.
• Kerberos (see Table
• LEAP (see Table 8-4)
• EAP-TLS (see Table
• PEAP (see Table 8-5).
