2. To set the WaveLAN parameters, edit the
“PACKET.INI” file.
The structure of the “
PACKET.INI” file is as follows:
; BASIC PARAMETERS
WAVELAN_NETWORK_NAME XXXXXXXX
STATION_NAMEXXXXXXXX
;ADVANCED PARAMETERS
;AP_DENSITYx
;TRANSMIT RATEX
;MEDIUM RESERVATIONXXXX
;MAC ADDRESS
All lines that start with a semi-colon ( ; ) are informational
comments to the user, i.e. the driver will ignore the information.
The basic parameters that you should set are:
■ WaveLAN Network Name
■ Station Name for your station.
All other parameters are optional and should preferably only
be used in special situations, typically upon advice of a
WaveLAN IEEE 802.11 expert.
NOTE:
The string for a “WaveLAN Network Name” is case-
sensitive. If your network includes stations that also use
the WaveLAN DOS ODI Driver, you are advised to select
upper-case characters only (see also “DOS ODI Driver
Configuration” on page D-10).
3. To set a parameter value, remove the semi-colon ( ; )
preceding the parameter name and enter a value within the
range as specified in Table D-3 on page D-22.
