Network Type
Infrastructure – Select the Infrastructure mode to establish a connection
with an Access Point. Your computer is able to access wireless LAN
and wired LAN (Ethernet), via an associated access point. The Channel
field turns to Auto when Infrastructure is selected.
Ad Hoc – Select the Ad Hoc mode to communicate directly with other
wireless cards or adaptors without using an Access Point. An Ad Hoc
network is typically formed quickly and easily without pre-planning. For
example, share meeting notes between networked computers in a meeting
room.
Network Name (SSID)
Use the SSID field to configure the SSID for the A111 card. You can
enter a new SSID or select one from the drop-down list box. SSID
stands for Service Set Identifier, which is a string used to identify a
wireless LAN. You will only be able to connect Access Points which
has the same SSID as the one you set. Use different SSIDs to segment
the wireless LAN and increase security. SSIDs must all be printable
characters and have a maximum of 32 case sensitive characters, such
as Wireless LAN.
NOTE: Set the SSID to a null string, if you wish to allow your station
to connect to any Access Point it can find. You cannot use null string
in Ad Hoc mode.
