Wireless Parameter Configuration
Certain "WIRELESS PARAMS" must be configured to match the
Access Point settings:
• Signal Strength
This menu displays the strength of the wireless signal.
NOTE: This is a display value only and cannot be changed.
• Operation Mode
This is the operation mode of the wireless network. The options
include “Infrastructure” and “Ad Hoc” modes. This must match the
Access Point's configuration.
NOTE: Operation Mode is not available if the Symbol LA5127
802.11g/b radio card is installed.
• SSID Name
This is the Service Set Identifier which must be identical to the
Access Point's SSID name. The SSID name can be configured to a
maximum of 32 alphanumeric characters. The SSID name and
alphanumeric characters are divided into three parts in the control
panel menu as "SSID Name (01-15)", "SSID Name (16-30)" and
"SSID Name (31-32)".
NOTE: When two or more consecutive space characters are used
in the SSID, enclose it in a double quoted string;otherwise
upon resetting the NIC, the SSID Name wil be saved in the
Wireless NIC with only one space.
• Min Xfer Rate
Allows you to set the minimum speed at which the Wireless Option
will accept a connection (in million bits per second).
This is the wireless transfer rate, and can be set to either “enable”
or “disable.” It is set to “enable” when the operation mode is
"Infrastructure" so that the NIC can automatically detect the optimal
transfer rate. If the operation mode is "Ad Hoc" and the transfer rate
is known, the user can enable or disable the corresponding transfer
rate in the menus "Xfer Rate 1Mb", "Xfer Rate 2Mb", "Xfer Rate
5.5Mb" or "Xfer Rate 11Mb".
