Wireless communication settings
To make network communication possible, you need to adjust two sets of
settings:
– the wireless adapter settings; and
– your network settings.
Wireless adapter settings
In the system tray,right-click the wireless adapter icon , and select the
Profiles menu item for editing your settings or adding a new connection
profile.All computers and wireless network devices in the same network
should have the same SSID and the same encryption key for wireless
security. In Ad Hoc mode, you must also specify the same radio channel for
all wireless devices.
Operating Mode – Set the operation mode to Ad Hoc (Peer-to-Peer)
for network configurations that do not have a Wireless Base Station or
Access Point, or to Infrastructure (Access Point) for configurations with
an access point. (Infrastructure is the default setting.)
SSID – Input an SSID (wireless network name) for the wireless network to
which you want to connect.Alternatively, use the Site Survey menu item to
choose from the list of available SSIDs. (Default SSID: Philips.)
Channel – If you are setting up an Ad Hoc wireless network, set the
channel number to the same radio channel as that used by the other
wireless devices in your group. However, if you are connecting to a network
via a base station or an access point, then the channel is automatically set to
the channel of the access point to which the adapter connects.
The Channel can only be set when the Operating Mode is set to Ad Hoc
(Peer-to-Peer).
Encryption key – Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and WiFi
Protected Access (WPA) are implemented in the adapter to prevent
unauthorised access to your wireless network.
For more secure data transmissions, set encryption to the highest number
of bits. E.g. a 128-bit setting gives you a higher level of security than 64-bit.
IMPORTANT:The setting must be the same for all clients in your wireless
network. (Default: Disabled.)
