10 CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION
■ Mode - Set to "ad hoc" or "infrastructure", depending
on the type of network you want to connect to.
■ SSID - Set the "SSID" identifier to the same as that
used by the ad hoc workgroup or access point you want
to connect to. (access point default: 101).
■ Channel - If you are setting up an ad hoc wireless LAN,
set the channel number to the same radio channel used
by the other wireless clients in your group. However, if
you are connecting to a network via an access point,
then use the same channel as that used by the access
point (access point default: 3).
■ RTS Threshold - Set the RTS threshold to the same as
that used by the other devices in your network (default:
Disabled).
■ Use WEP - For more secure data transmission, set this
field to "Enabled" to ensure wireless network security.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is implemented in the
PCI card to prevent unauthorized access (default:
Disabled).
If the access point you wish to connect to is set for
encryption, you must also enable encryption on the
wireless client. Click Encryption in the Wireless LAN
Configuration Utility to go to screens where you can enable
and configure encryption.
You must set the wireless client for the same encryption
algorithm and shared key values as the access point it will
associate with. Save settings and exit by clicking OK.
7 If desired, select the Services tab and Click "Add..." to
install the network protocols you want to use, such
as IPX/SPX, NetBEUI or TCP/IP.
If you install TCP/IP, be sure to set the appropriate gateway,
DNS server, and domain for your network. If you install an
IPX/SPX-compatible protocol, then you also need to install
the Client for NetWare Networks.
