6.2 Setting up the CPE as an AP with PrismII 11Mbit Wireless NIC
•
The following explanation and screen shots will demonstrate how to set the CPE with
the PrismII 11Mbit Wireless Network Card. If your wireless card is not based on the
PrismII chipset, please move to the appropriate section for your card.
Step 9.1: You will see a screen like the one below. When setting up your CPE to act
as a CPE, the two areas of utmost importance are the ESSID and the
Wireless Mode fields.
The ESSID field must reflect the ESSID of your CPE. If the ESSID fields
differ between your CPE and your AP, your network will not function. In
Diagram 3.0, the ESSID of both the CPE and the AP is set to TEST.
The Wireless Mode field for an AP is always set to Access Point. The
only time that this option changes is when you want your AP to act as an
CPE.
Step 9.2: When the CPE is in infrastructure mode, any modifications made in the
Access Point Settings do not affect the functioning of the CPE. When setting up a
CPE as a AP, these values are used. The channel range available is from 1 to 11
inclusive. If WEP is enabled (see Step 9.3), you may set the Allow non-encrypted
field to No.
