Network Type

Infrastructure. –. Infrastructure. means.
to establish a connection with an access
point. Once connected, the access
point allows you to access wireless
LAN and wired LAN (Ethernet). The
Channel field turns to Auto when Infrastructure.is.selected.
Ad Hoc – Ad Hoc means to communicate directly with other wireless clients
without using an access point. An "Ad Hoc" network is typically formed quickly
and easily without pre-planning. For example, share meeting notes between
attendants.in.a.meeting.room.
Network Name (SSID)
SSID stands for "Service Set Identifier", which is a string used to identify a
wireless LAN. Use the SSID to connect with a known access point. You can
enter a new SSID or select one from the drop-down list box. If you get connected
by designating the SSID, you are only to connect the AP with the SSID you
assigned. If the AP is removed from the network, your WLAN Card does not
roam automatically to other APs. SSIDs must all be printable characters and
having a maximum of 32 case sensitive characters, such as " Wireless".
NOTE: Set the SSID to a null string, if you wish to allow your station to
connect to any access point it can find. But you cannot use null string in
Ad Hoc mode.
Channel
Use the Channel field to select the radio channel for WLAN Card. In an
"infrastructure" network, your WLAN Card will automatically select the correct
channel to communicate with an access point, this parameter will be fixed in
"Auto" and cannot be changed. In an "Ad Hoc" network, you can decide which
channel.to.use.for.the.WLAN.Card..With.the.same.channel.setting,.all.WLAN.
Cards can communicate with each other in the Ad-Hoc network.
The. radio. channels. you. can. use. depend. on. the. regulations. in. your. country..
For United States (FCC) and Canada (IC), channels 1 to 11 are supported. For
Europe (ETSI), channels 1 to 13 are supported. For operation in Japan (MKK),
channels.1.to.14.are.supported.
