Parameter Description
Ad Hoc Default Channel Select the number of the radio channel used for the Ad Hoc
networking. The channel of all the wireless stations in the Ad Hoc
network should be the same. The parameter is not active in the
infrastructure operation mode.
Note: The Infrastructure operation mode requires the presence of
an 802.11 Access Point. All communication is done via the
Access Point.
Encryption Algorithm The parameter is only active in the Ad Hoc operation mode. There
are three kinds of encrypion algorithm supported by the card
including WEP, TKIP and AES.
WEP is an authentication algorithm, which protects authorized
Wireless LAN users against eavesdropping. WEP has been found
that it has some security problems. TKIP is a temporary quick-fix
method defined in IEEE 802.11i standard to quickly overcome the
inherent weaknesses in WEP security. AES has been developed
to ensure the highest degree of security and authenticity for
digital information and it is the most advanced solution defined by
IEEE 802.11i for the security in the wireless network.
The security setting must be the the same on the wireless stations
within the network.
