Network Type
The Wireless LAN Card can operate in three network environments:
Infrastructure,
For access to the Internet or a corporate network via an access point.
Pesudo Ad-Hoc
For computer-to-computer wireless networks, where wireless stations
connect to each other directly using the same channel without an
access point. (See Ad-Hoc Channel).
802.11 Ad-Hoc (Recommended)
For computer-to-computer wireless networks, where wireless stations
connect to each other directly using the same ESS ID without an access
point. (See ESS ID).
Ad-Hoc Channel
The Ad-Hoc hoc channel drop down menu allows you to specify the channel
used for the Wireless LAN Card. The channel should be the same for all
wireless stations.
Transmit Rate
There are five transmission rate settings:
Fully Auto
1 or 2 Mbps (megabits per second)
5.5 Mbps
11 Mbps
The default setting for the transmission data rate is Fully Auto. In Fully Auto
setting, the Wireless LAN Card operates at the maximum data rate by
automatically finding the highest possible signal from an access point.
When the transmission signal from an access point weakens or drops, the
Wireless LAN Card automatically switches to a lower transmission rate to
maintain a reliable transmission. When the signal improves, the Wireless LAN
Card increases the transmission data rate to the highest signal available.
