This page enables you to change the

WLAN Card conﬁgurations.

Network Type

Infrastructure

– Infrastructure means

to establish a connection with an access

point. Once connected, the access

point allows you to access wireless

LAN and wired LAN (Ethernet). The

Channel field turns to

Auto

if the

connection is based on Infrastructure.

Ad Hoc

– Ad Hoc means to communicate directly with other wireless clients

without using an access point. An “Ad Hoc” network can be setup quickly

and easily without pre-planning, for example, sharing meeting notes between

attendants in a meeting room.

Network Name (SSID)

SSID stands for “Service Set Identifier”, which is a string used to identify a

wireless LAN. Use the SSID to connect with a known access point. You can

enter a new SSID or select one from the drop-down list box. If you get connected

by designating the SSID, you are only to connect the AP with the SSID you

assigned. If the AP is removed from the network, your WLAN Card does not

roam automatically to other APs. SSIDs must all be printable characters and

having a maximum of 32 case sensitive characters, such as “ Wireless”.

NOTE: Set the SSID to a null string, if you wish to allow your station to

connect to any access point it can ﬁnd. But you cannot use null string in

Ad Hoc mode.

Channel

The Channel ﬁeld is for setting radio channel. Your WLAN Card can automatically

select the correct channel to communicate with an wireless device, and the

parameter is ﬁxed to "Auto" in both Infrastructure and Ad Hoc mode.

The available radio channels depend on the regulations in your country. For

the United States (FCC) and Canada (IC), channel 1 to 11 are supported. For

Europe (ETSI), channel 1 to 13 are supported. For Japan (MKK), channel 1 to

14 are supported.
