Topology
Select Infrastructure (ESS) mode or Adhoc (IBSS) mode. Infrastructure mode
communicates with Access Points. Ad Hoc mode communicates only with other clients.
Topology 0=Infrastructure, 1=Adhoc (1) ? _
Network Name (SSID)

selected channel.
Channel (11) ? _
Only channels allowed in the country for which the XPress DR+W is designated can be

Security
The Security Suite prompt enables you to select the type of security. The XPress DR+W
features WEP, WPA and WPA2/802.11i to secure all wireless communication. WPA and
WPA2/802.11i are only available when the topology is Infrastructure.
Notes:
‹ In the WPA and WPA2 modes, the encryption setting denotes the lowest acceptable
encryption method, CCMP > TKIP > WEP. For example, if the unit is configured for
WEP, and the Access Point supports TKIP, the negotiation will result in TKIP being
used. If the unit is configured for TKIP, and the Access Point only supports WEP,
association will fail because the Access Point does not meet the unit's demands.
(CCMP is only available in WPA2 mode.)
‹ Communication between the Access Point and a single wireless device is called
unicast and uses the pairwise encryption method. Communication from the Access
