Configuration Utility
Configuration
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 such as the
DWL-1000AP. (The default setting.)
Ad-Hoc – wireless mode used when connecting directly to a computer
equipped with a wireless adapter such as the D-Link AirPlus DWL-520
Wireless PCI adapter in a peer-to-peer environment.
Channel – The default channel setting is channel 6. However, the DWL-650+ 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. 11Mbps is the default setting.
Preamble
- Select Long or Short Preamble. 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 roaming
wireless Network adapters. Long Preamble is the default setting. 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.
