SSID
If using an ESS (Extended Service Set, with multiple access
points) this ID is called an ESSID (Extended Service Set
Identifier).
To communicate, all Wireless stations MUST use the same
SSID/ESSID. Change this value, or change the other Wire-
less stations, to ensure each Wireless station has the same
value.
The default value is "null", so the Wireless station can join
any Ad-hoc group.
Note! The SSID is case sensitive.
Channel No
To communicate in "802.11 Ad-hoc" or "Ad hoc" mode, all Wire-
less stations MUST use the same Channel number.
If using "802.11 Ad-hoc" or "Ad-hoc" mode, select the value
you wish to use on your Wireless LAN.
If using "Infrastructure" mode, the Channel is selected
automatically, to match the Channel used by the Access
Point.
If you experience interference (shown by lost connections
and/or slow data transfers) you may need to experiment
with different channels to see which is the best.
Network Type
Select the correct value for your Wireless LAN.
802.11 Ad-hoc mode is used when there is no Wireless
Access Point, and each Wireless station communicates di-
rectly with other Wireless stations. This is the current stan-
dard.
Ad-hoc mode is used when there is no Wireless Access
Point, and each Wireless station communicates directly with
other Wireless stations. This is the older standard.
Infrastructure mode is used when each Wireless station
connects to the Wireless Access point. This also provides
access to the wired LAN.
Encryption
WEP Disabled/
Enabled
If Disabled (default), data is NOT encrypted before being trans-
mitted.
If Enabled, you must provide either the 64 Bit key table or the
128 Bit keys, as described below. The key is used to encrypt
the data before transmission.
