LABEL DESCRIPTION
Wireless Mode An 802.11b_AdHoc network is the simplest WLAN configuration,
defined as two or more wireless devices within range of each other that
form an independent network without the need of an access point (AP).
Select Infrastructure to access an AP.
SSID (Service Set ID) The SSID identifies the Service Set with which a
wireless station is associated. Wireless stations associating to the
access point (AP) must have the same SSID. You can think of the SSID
as being similar to a workgroup name in a Microsoft network.
Channel(1-11) A channel is a radio frequency used by IEEE 802.11b wireless devices.
Channels available depend on the AP you are connected to. The
channel is determined automatically using the site survey feature.
Rate The closer you are to an AP the stronger the signal and the faster the
connection. Choose Auto to have the Prestige determine the best
setting for your connection type.
WEP If you are using a public AP, select None.
Select an encryption level of 64bits or 128bits according to the
encryption settings at your AP site.
You must configure a WEP encryption key if the AP uses WEP.
Key 1 ~ 4 The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the Prestige and the AP
must use the same WEP key.
If you chose 64-bit WEP, then enter 5 ASCII characters or 10
hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F").
If you chose 128-bit WEP, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26
hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F").
You must configure all four keys, but only one key can be activated at
any one time. The default key is Key 1.
