■ Mode: Use the Mode pull-down menu to select the operating mode.
Infrastructure – This is a default mode. This mode allows Wireless LAN
Module to transmit and receive data with an Access Point. This mode
enables roaming between AP cells in the network.
802.11 Ad Hoc – This mode allows Wireless LAN Module to form its
own local network where adaptors communicate peer-to-peer without
Access Points using a shared SSID.
■ SSID: Service Set Identifier is a group name that will be shared by
every member of your wireless network. You will only be able to
connect with an Access Point (AP), which has the same SSID. Note
that the SSID will be case sensitive. Under 802.11Ad Hoc mode, the
SSID must be the same among stations so that the Pocket PC can
communicate properly within the Wireless Network.
■ Channel: In France, only channel 10 and 11 are available. In USA,
Canada, Europe or Australia, you have 11 options: channel 1~11.
If you cannot connect with the APs or the 802.11 Ad Hoc Network
Stations, check if the channel been used is between 1~11. Using channels
other than 1~11 will not enable the connection.
The channel is set by the adaptor, which starts the 802.11Ad Hoc
network. Under 802.11Ad Hoc mode, the first station forms the 802.11
Ad Hoc network should choose a proper SSID and the channel for
use. Other stations will only have the same SSID set to join the 802.11
Ad Hoc network automatically.
■ Rescan: Used to search the proper Access Point close to the
adaptor.
■ Link Quality: An indicator of how clearly the adaptor can hear the
Access Point.
