[. . . ] The access point or wireless router is programmed with the SSID. There are two methods of entering the SSID correctly for your Card. The easiest method is to use an SSID of "ANY". Entering "ANY" in the SSID field will make the Card look for all available wireless network access points or wireless routers in the area. It will connect to the one with the strongest radio signal strength. The other method is to enter the exact SSID of the access point or wireless router that you want to connect to. For instance, if you know the wireless network name is "WLAN", then type WLAN into the SSID field to directly connect to the wireless network named "WLAN". 16 wireless networking SSID in Ad-Hoc Mode In Ad-Hoc mode, each wireless device will use the same SSID to create a small wireless network. For instance, if you want to connect a PDA to a PC, then both must have the same SSID such as "WLAN". In addition, the wireless channel must also be the same. Click "Apply" to save the change. 17 wireless networking Transmit Rate The 802. 11b wireless Ethernet standard was engineered to operate at different data rates depending on the environment in which it is operating. The maximum data rate is 11Mbps (11 megabits per second or 11 million bits per second). Type the network passphrase you need to use into the "Passphrase" box. Click "Apply" to save the passphrase. 22 wireless networking Create 64-bit keys on a Pocket PC To create an encryption key manually: 1. Click the "Encryption" tab. Create 128-bit keys on a Pocket PC 2. Select the rate of encryption you need to use from the drop-down menu. Select "Create Keys Manually". Depending on the rate of encryption you are using, follow the steps below: a. 64-bit: If you selected 64-bit encryption, then enter a 10-digit hex key into "Key 1". 128-bit: If you selected 128-bit encryption, then enter a 26-digit hex key into "Key 1". Note: In many cases, this key should be provided to you by the network administrator. 5. Click "Apply" to save the key. 23 wireless networking Link The "Link" tab shows you the current connection status. a b c d e f Link displayed on a Pocket PC a b d e f c Link displayed on a handheld PC 24 wireless networking a State Shows the MAC address of the access point or wireless router that your Card is currently associated with. [. . . ] Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Caution: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation. The radiated output power of this device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device shall be used in such manner that the potential for human contact normal operation is minimized. When connecting an external antenna to the device, the antenna shall be placed in such a manner to minimize the potential for human contact during normal operation. In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall not be less than 20cm (8inches) during normal operation. Federal Communications Commission Notice This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. [. . . ]
