Set the Profile (Optional)
The Profile field allows you to set values for all parameters by selecting a previously defined
profile. To create the profile, go to the Profile field, type a profile name and set the
corresponding parameters. After changing parameters, save the profile and click the Apply
button to take effect. You can have multiple profiles and modify the profile at any time.
Set the Network Type
From the Main Menu, click the Configuration tab, go to Network Type and click the down
arrow at the right of the Network Type field. You will then see 3 network types for the
22Mbps Wireless LAN PC Card to operate. If you need to access company network or Internet
via Access Point, select “Infrastructure ”. To set up a group of wireless stations for file and
printer sharing, select “AdHoc” or “802.11 AdHoc” (without Access Point). If Ad-Hoc
(without access point) is selected, you need to set wireless stations with the same channel.
For 802.11 AdHoc, the same channel and ESS ID are required to the wireless stations.
Set the ESS ID
The ESS ID is the unique ID used by Access Points and stations to identify a wireless LAN.
Wireless clients associating to any Access Point must have the same ESS ID. The default
setting is ANY, which allows your Wireless LAN PC Card to automatically associate to any
Access Point (Infrastructure mode) in the vicinity of your wireless adapter. Alternatively, you
may check the ESS ID check box to specify the ESS ID. It will then attempt to associate with
Access Points or stations with the same ESS ID. The ESS ID can be set up to 32 characters
and is case sensitive.
