Statement of Conditions We may make improvements or changes in the product described in this documentation at any time. The information regarding to the product in this manual are subject to change without notice. [. . . ] Thus, the caption contexts vary according to the connectivity at the given time. From the above picture, the associated profile is named "Wireless". From the window, the general information on the status of currently connected entry is presented. You may want to click the Rescan button to reinitiate the scanning process and update the status. Later the result of scanning will be renewed and displayed in the window. If you wish to stop the networking connection, click the Disable Radio button to stop scanning. However, if you are already in the disabled radio mode, you will find the Enable Radio button here instead. Click Enable Radio to regain the link then. State Here displays either the MAC Address of the current associated access point in the Infrastructure mode or a BSSID from any computer joining in the Ad-Hoc network. Current Tx Rate This feature indicates the transmission rate of the current connection. Current Channel Here reveals the current channel operated in the wireless network. Note that the channel number differs as the radio scans any available channels in the Infrastructure mode. Throughout (bytes/sec) This feature indicates the rates of transmitting (Tx) and receiving (Rx) data package of your 802. 11b/g WLAN Cardbus within a short period of time; thus, the values vary on a time basis. 10 Link Quality Link Quality is based on the percentage of successfully transmitted or received signal of the associated access point beacon within a limited period. The higher the percentage, the better the link quality. The bar graph beside also provides a visual interpretation of the current link quality. It is noted that the Link Quality and Signal Strength features only apply to the Infrastructure mode. They are inapplicable in the Ad-Hoc mode since data will be transferred from many different computers. Signal Strength You may learn the received signal strength of the baseband processor of the beacon signal from the Signal Strength bar beside, and it's also presented in terms of percentage. As the signal gets stronger, the signal percentage rate gets higher. It is noted that the Signal Strength and Link Quality features only apply to the Infrastructure mode. They are inapplicable in the Ad-Hoc mode since data will be transferred from many different computers. The Configuration Tab Click this tab to edit different profiles for different network configurations. When finish changing the settings, please click Apply to perform the new configuration at last. Note: Choosing the Advanced Configuration command from the right-click menu of WLAN-G Configuration Tool tray icon will launch this tab too. Figure 3-5: The Configuration Tab Profile Name Enter texts in the Profile Name field to identify a new profile. After defining the configurations below, click the Apply button to establish the profile. To switch between any existing profiles, 11 simply click the arrow button at the right of the Profile Name field to open the pull-down menu and then select the intended one from it. Note: You will have at least one profile named Default. When selecting any link from the list under the Site Survey tab, the common information on this chosen link will be illustrated under the Configuration tab. Network Name Network Name, also known as SSID (Service Set Identifier), must be unique to distinguish itself as a particular wireless network, while all wireless points in this network area share the same SSID. Type the identical SSID in the Network Name field to associate with access points or stations within the specified wireless LAN. To change the Network Name, highlight the name in the box, edit a new SSID, and then click Apply to save the changes. Network Type Two network types are offered here: Access Point and Peer-to-Peer. Choose the intended type from the two options. [. . . ] Once the device is removed, the connection to the network stops. Thus, be sure that you have closed all the network applications before processing the removal. Uninstall WLAN-G Configuration Tool and the Card's Driver Prior to starting uninstalling, please make sure that the utility is closed, and then go along with the procedures below to entirely uninstall WLAN-G Configuration Tool and the card driver. Right-click the My Computer desktop icon and choose Properties from its menu. [. . . ]
