3.3 IEEE802.11b USB WLAN Utility
IEEE802.11b USB WLAN Adapter has its own management
software, named IEEE802.11b USB WLAN Utility, and users can
control all functions provided with it. The Utility icon will appear in
the taskbar by clicking the IEEE802.11b USB WLAN Utility
shortcut on your desktop. The Utility screen includes six tabs:
Monitor, Statistics, Site Survey, Encryption, Advanced, and
Version.
In Ad Hoc mode, in one workgroup, the Channel and SSID of
each station must be the same—therefore they can communicate
with each other within the local LAN properly. Moreover, all
connected computers should have the same net ID and subnet
ID. You can follow the procedure below to check whether you
have set the same net ID and subnet ID with other stations in the
workgroup:
1.
Right-click on the Network Neighborhood on your desktop
and then click on “Properties”.
2. In Configuration, click on “TCP/IP -> IEEE802.11b USB
WLAN Adapter” and then click on “Properties”.
3. Click on “IP Address”.
4. Click on “Specify an IP Address” and make sure the net ID and
subnet ID of all the connected computers being the same.
