• Click the www.parkervision.com button to access the ParkerVision-Wireless home page.
• Click the HELP option to view the user manual.
• Click DONE to exit the D2D Management Utility.
• Click OPTIONS to set the options shown below.
• SSID is broadcast by the Access Point or in Ad-Hoc by
all members in the connection. Occasionally SSID is
hidden and the user needs to input the correct name.
• Channel can be set by the user when in Ad-Hoc. In AP
Mode, the Access Point sets the channel.
• Connect to Access Point or Ad-Hoc.
• Select the appropriate WEP encryption option: Off,
64-bit, or 128-bit.
Most PUBLIC locations leave WEP off.
PRIVATE Ad-Hoc connections will default to WEP 64-bit
enabled. The exact key must match the AP or Ad-Hoc
member, i.e. Key 1: 3451237890. Connection is established
even if the key is incorrect, however, data will not be allowed
to transfer with the correct key. Four unique keys can be
remembered, one is selected as the default for use when
WEP is enabled. Verify with your IT professional the setting
for your network.
