Configuration - sub-tab Common
Network Name – Input a wireless network name for the wireless
network to which you want to connect. Alternatively, use the Site Survey
tab to choose from the list of available Network Names. (Default: philips.)
Operating Mode – Set the operation mode to Ad Hoc (Peer-to-Peer) for
network configurations that do not have a Wireless Base Station , and to
Infrastructure for configurations with a wireless base station. (Infrastructure is
the default setting.)
Transmit Rate Auto will automatically negotiate the highest possible
wireless network speed. Or set a lower speed manually. Lower speeds will
give better range.
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, then the channel is automatically set to the channel of the
base station to which the adapter connects.The Channel can only be set
when the Operating Mode is set to Ad Hoc (Peer-to-Peer).
Power Save – Click the box if you want to use power management to
reduce your portable computer's consumption of battery power and still
keep the computer available for immediate use.
IMPORTANT: All computers and wireless network devices in the same
network should have the same Network Name (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.
Note: refer to the "How to..?" booklet on how to set-up a wireless connection.
