Configuration

Profile The Profile field allows you to set values for all parameters by selecting a previously defined

profile. To create a profile, go to the Profile field, type in a

Profile Name

. After changing

parameters, Save the profile and click the Apply button to put it into effect. If one of the

profiles is no longer used, you may remove it by clicking the Delete button. You can have

multiple profiles and modify a profile at any time. Furthermore, you may monitor the current

Profile status of the IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Network Adapter.

Network

Configuration

Configurable between IEEE802.11 Ad-hoc and Infrastructure modes. In IEEE802.11 Ad-hoc

mode, the wireless nodes form their own local network where the end nodes communicate

peer-to-peer without an access point. In Infrastructure mode, the wireless searches all

available wireless channels to associate with an access point.

Network SSID Enter a 32-character (maximum) Service Set ID in this field; the characters are case sensitive.

When the wireless node is operating in Ad-hoc mode, this field operates as the Basic Service

Set ID (BSSID). All wireless nodes in the same network should use the same BSSID.

When in Infrastructure mode, this field defines the Extended Service Set ID (ESSID). The

ESSID assigned to the wireless node is required to match the access point ESSID for the

wireless node to communicate with the access point.

Channel Select the wireless channel currently in use. Only valid in AdHoc Mode.

Radio Band Specifies 802.11a, or 802.11b/g operation.

Wireless Mode Specifies 5GHz(802.11a), 2.4GHz(802.11b), or Auto operation. Auto allows the use of both

IEEE802.11a and IEEE802.11b modes.

Start AdHoc

Network

Specifies a band to establish an ad hoc network if no matching SSID is found after scanning

all available modes.

11g Turbo

Mode

When you enable the Turbo Mode, the maximum data rate can up to 108 mbps. However, this

function is only used to our company’s AP or STA.

Transmit

Power

Selects 100%, 50%, 25%, 12.5%, or Lowest power.

2.4GHz

preamble

The preamble defines the length of the CRC block for communication between the Access

Point and a roaming Network Card.

A long transmit preamble allows the receiver to lock into

the received bit patterns more easily. A auto transmit preamble provides better performance.

The default value is Long Tx Preamble.
