Wireless PCI Adapter

The Network Name (also known as the SSID) is the unique
name shared among all points in a wireless network. The
Network Name must be identical for all points in the network.
It is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters.
In Access Point mode, you may instruct the adapter to select
the first available Access Point by entering a Network Name
of “ANY” (all upper case). You should not use a Network
Name of “ANY” in Peer-to-Peer mode.
The Peer-to-Peer Channel setting specifies the channel used
in wireless communication in 802.11b Ad-Hoc mode and
should be set to the same channel as the other points in the
wireless network.
Note: You do not need to set the channel when using
Access Point mode.
The Transmit Rate field allows you to set the transmission rate
for the PCI adapter. To optimize performance and range, the
Transmit Rate should be set to Fully Automatic, which will
automatically adjust the transfer speed for best performance
and longest range.

Note: If you experience difficulty in transfering data
between computers, you should try the following steps:
• Reposition either or both computers or Access Point
(if one is being used).
• Keep in mind that closer is not necessarily better for
devices of this type. If the devices are too close
together, move them apart.
• If you have a consistent problem with many or all
wireless devices on your network, you should consider
using a different wireless channel for your network
operations.
