n Configuration Name: This name identifies the configuration. This name
should be unique.
n Network Name (SSID): The name of the wireless network. This name
cannot be longer than 32 characters. If the field is set to be “ANY” or is
left blank, your computer will connect to an AP with the best signal
strength.
n Network Connection: Specifies the mode of the network. Two options
are “Infrastructure” and “Ad Hoc”.
n Power Saving: Three power management options are “Off”, “Normal” and
“Maximum”. In Ad Hoc mode, Power Savings function cannot be enabled.
n Wireless Mode: Three options are “802.11b”, “802.11a” or “Auto”.
“Auto” allows the use of either 802.11a or 802.11b mode.
n Ad Hoc Net Start: Specifies a band to establish an Ad Hoc network if no
matching SSID is found. Four options are available: 802.11b, 802.11a,
802.11aTurbo and 802.11g (Pure g).

allows the Adapter and AP to negotiate the encryption type. If AES is not
available, WEP is used. By default, the Adapter is set to “Auto” and will
attempt to use AES first. If the AP supports WEP only or is configured for
WEP only, the Adapter will automatically use WEP.
