In most networking situations, the Fully Auto setting is the most efficient
transmission rate. You can set a lower transmission rate to save power on the
Pocket PC. Higher transmission rates will use more power.
ESS ID
The ESS ID (Extended Service Set ID) is an identification assigned to the
access point the Wireless LAN Card connects to. Wireless devices connecting
to an access point must use the same ESS ID. The ESS ID can be up to 32
characters and is case sensitive.
The default ESS ID setting is ANY, which allows the Wireless LAN PC Card to
automatically associate to any available access point.
To specify a different ESS ID, select the ESS ID check box and enter the
new ESS ID.
BSS ID
When an access point is connected to a wired network and a set of wireless
devices, it is referred to as a Basic Service Set (BSS). Wireless devices in a
BSS must be configured with the same BSS ID.
If your network uses multiple access points with the same ESS ID, you can
specify the BSS ID (Basic Service Set ID) address of the access point that
offers the strongest wireless signal. This is also known as a MAC address
(Media Access Control) address, a hardware address that uniquely identifies
an access point.
To specify a unique BSS ID, select the BSS ID check box and enter the
ESS ID.
