[. . . ] Configuration Make configuration changes by specifying the proper configuration parameters on this configuration tab as shown in Figure 2-3-7. Figure 2-3-7 22 Profile You can give a name for this field to a setting of configuration parameters, such as Network Name, Network Type, Transmit Rate, Encryption (WEP Security), etc. It makes much easier for users to change WLAN configuration settings who need to switch working places frequently. Suppose that a user has to work between the two different offices where there are different network settings. In this case, this user just needs to setup two profiles for the two offices and simply selects the proper profile when the user switches to the different office. Network Name For infrastructure mode, you need to type in the SSID of the access point to which your computer connects. For Ad-Hoc (peer-to-peer) mode, you need to type in the virtual SSID of the Ad-Hoc network to which your computer attaches. Network Type There are two types of network modes in this drop-down list as shown in Figure 2-3-8, Peer-to-Peer and Access Point (Infrastructure). Figure 2-3-8 23 Peer to Peer: If two or more stations exchange data directly without an access point, you need to select Peer-to-Peer mode. Each station in a Peer-to-Peer (Ad-Hoc) network must specify the same network name (SSID) and peer-to-peer channel. Access Point: If at least one access point involves in the communications in a group of stations, you need to select Infrastructure mode. Each station needs to specify the same network name (SSID) as the access point. Please refer to the section 1-6 for more details about peer-to-peer mode and Access Point (infrastructure) mode. Peer-to-Peer Channel This option is just for Peer-to-Peer (Ad-Hoc) mode. You need to specify a channel on which the communications are established. Each station in a Peer-to-Peer (Ad-Hoc) network must specify the same channel and network type (SSID). Power Save Mode Power Save function as shown in figure 2-3-9 . This function can conserve more battery energy and extend the battery life. This function has three options for power save mode. 1. On: 2. Off: 3. Auto: Enable Power Save function. Utility will automatically detect what kind of power supply a machine uses and then determine to enable or disable Power Save function. If device uses battery, Power Save Mode is set to on. If device uses AC Power, Power Save Mode is set to off. 24 Figure 2-3-9 Transmit Rate The transmission rate on which the data packets are transmitted by the client can be specified in this drop-down list as shown in Figure 2-3-10. Below are the available transmission rates. Full Automatic 11 Mbps 5. 5 Mbps Auto 1 or 2 Mbp PC Card chooses the highest available transmission rate Allows only 11 Mbps operation Allows only 5. 5 Mbps operation Allows only 1 or 2 Mbps operation Table 2-3-2 25 Figure 2-3-10 Defaults Once this button is pressed, all the settings will be set back to the default settings. [. . . ] Use No resource conflicts were the Network Configuration Properties detected, but the wireless Application in the Control Panel to station does not attach to the modify the SSID. Verify that the Network Mode of the network PC Card is configured correctly. The cause may be: No Driver loaded or installed. Card ­ Driver mismatch, which prevented the driver from loading. [. . . ]
