client to client without the use of an Access Point. “Peer-to-Peer” networking uses the same
NETWORK NAME for the wireless adapters in establishing the network connection. When
“Ad-Hoc ” mode is selected, the utility will provide a selection for setting the channel.
z Infrastructure - This mode of operation requires the presence of an 802.11b Infrastructure. All
communication is done through the Infrastructure, which relays packets to other wireless clients
as well as to nodes on a wired Ethernet network.
z Pseudo IBSS-This mode is for manufacture testing.
Channel
When communicating in Ad-Hoc mode, you must specify a channel on which communications will take
place. This field is grayed in infrastructure mode because the Access Point automatically selects the
channel.
Tx Rate
The Transmit Rate field specifies the rate at which the radio in your Netkey WLAN adapter transmits
and receives data. You can set this to the following fixed rates: 1 Mbps; 2Mbps; 5.5 Mbps or 11 Mbps.
Auto -
When it is enabled, the device will choose the most suitable transmission rate automatically.
SSID
The name of the wireless network. This name cannot be longer than 32 characters. The default value is
“any”, which will automatically scan and connect the best performance Access point nearby. You may
specify a SSID for the adapter and then only the device with the same SSID can interconnect to the
adapter.
