Setting The Wireless Lan Encryption - Hama 00062764 V2 Bedienungsanleitung

If your network uses encryption, switch to the Authentication and Security tab and continue configuration
under Setting wireless LAN encryption.
If your network is not encrypted, click OK to accept the settings. To activate the profile created, switch to
the Profiles tab, select the profile and then click Activate.
2.2.1.2 Ad-hoc mode
First enter a name for your profile (Profile name), e.g. "PROF1".
If you have selected version 1 to create the profile, you must enter the network ID (SSID) of the target
network in the SSID field. This is in the wireless LAN settings in your router or access point or you can ask
the person in charge. If you have selected version 2, the SSID has already been copied automatically from
the network overview.
To reduce the energy consumption, you can run the stick in Power saving mode. In this mode, certain
functions are deactivated or run at a lower setting if they are not fully used. Select Constantly Awake Mode
if you want to work at full power all the time.
Select Ad-hoc under network type. This mode allows you to connect to other wireless LAN client devices,
e.g. USB sticks, PCI cards or cardbus.
The settings for TX Power, Preamble, RTS Threshold and Fragment Threshold can be left at the default
settings. Ad-hoc WLAN mode allows you to set the standard to be used. This depends on the other devices
used in your network. You can then select either 802.11b (11Mbps) only: Then this standard only is used;
802.11g (54Mbps) only: Then this standard only is used; or 802.11b/g: If this is selected, both standards are
supported. If you are unsure which standards your devices support, you should use the mixed mode. You
must also set the wireless LAN channel used under Channel. In Europe, there are 13 channels in the 2.4 GHz
frequency range.
If your network uses encryption, switch to the Authentication and Security tab and continue configuration
under Setting wireless LAN encryption.
If your network is not encrypted, click OK to accept the settings. To activate the profile created, switch to the
Profiles tab, select the profile and then click Activate.
