D. Settings
D1: What is SSID? What should I set in the SSID field?
SSID stands for Service Set Identification, which is the ID to form the
Wireless Network. You can set up to 32 characters in the SSID field.
For the Infrastructure Mode, you should set the SSID the same as
the Access Point been connected with. To create a 802.11 Ad Hoc
Network, the SSID must be the same among stations to enable the
wireless communication within the local area network.
D2: Why can’t I choose the “Channel” field in “Infrastructure”
Mode?
For the Infrastructure Mode, the Channel is decided by the Access
Point. You can only join the existing Access Point formed Wireless
Network but not create a new Wireless Network. That is the reason
why you can’t set the “Channel” setting.
D3: When should I set the IP address, Subnet mask and Default
gateway settings?
You need to choose a proper SSID and channel for the
first 802.11 Ad Hoc station. For other stations want to join
the same SSID group, you could only choose the same
SSID as the first station, but the channel will not take
effect. The 802.11 Ad Hoc must enter the proper SSID.
Blank SSID for the 802.11 Ad Hoc Mode is not allowed.
The stations want to join the 802.11 Ad Hoc Network must
have the same SSID and are suggested to have the same
IP Address in the Network group.
