3.2 Wireless connection
This section only applies to TEW-MP2U.
3.2.1 Preliminary
„ Before you can access wireless network, wireless parameters should be set
correctly. You have to setup the first wireless parameter set through LAN
(wired) connection.
„ Wireless access can be set as 1. Infrastructure (station) mode, which need an
access point to route network messages, or 2. Ad-hoc mode, which connect
nearby wireless PC/devices with the same SSID (Service Set ID).
„ Wireless access can be secured by WEP64, WEP128, or WPA-PSK/TKIP.
„ In infrastructure mode, if network administrator wants to change any security
related parameters, TEW-MP2U should be changed first, and then access
point. If parameters mismatch causes wireless access is not allowed, you
have to modify those parameters through LAN connection.
„ In infrastructure mode, the maximal transfer rate is 54 Mbps depending on
access point’s capability. In ad-hoc mode, only 802.11b (the maximal
transfer rate is 11 Mbps) is allowed by specification.
