802.11D Supported
If your PRISM adapter supports 802.11d operation, the Domain menu lets you specify
one of three levels of 802.11d support.
If you specify
None
in the
802.11d support
field, you must then choose the county in the
Countries/Domains field which corresponds to your location. In this case your adapter
operates according to the standards set by the appropriate regulatory agency.
If you choose
Strict in the 802.11d support field, your adapter will only communicate with
Access Points which provide 802.11d support. In this case, the adapter scans all
communications channels for an Access Point which provides information on the
channels, frequencies, and power levels permitted in your location. Once it finds such
an Access Point, the adapter conforms its operations to these standards. The adapter
will not communicate with an Access Point that does not provide this information, nor
will it join or create a peer-to-peer network if Strict 802.11d support is specified in
this field.
If you choose
Flexible in this field, your adapter can communicate with any Access Point
it finds. In this case, you must also choose the county in the
Countries/Domains
field
which corresponds to your location. Your adapter then searches for an Access Point
which provides information on the channels, frequencies, and power levels permitted in
your location. If it finds such an Access Point, the adapter conforms its operations to
these standards.
If it does not find an Access Point which provides this information, it then will establish
