Wireless USB Adapter 21 CONFIGURATION The Configuration screen allows you to customize the setting for the PC Card and your wireless network. The Mode setting determines the architecture of your wireless network. Select Ad-Hoc or Infrastructure Mode depending on your network type. The Ad-Hoc mode is used for a simple peer-to-peer network and allows the sharing of local resources only between PC Cards without needing a wireless Access Point. The Infrastructure mode allows a wireless network to be integrated into an existed, wired network through an Access Point. Infrastructure networks permit roaming between Access Points while maintaining a connection to all network resources and provide additional features, such as WEP security, power saving and extended range. The acronym for Service Set Identifier, SSID is the unique name shared among all points in a wireless network. The SSID must be identical for all points in the network. It is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters. The Tx Rate field shows the current transfer rate for the PC Card. To optimize performance and range, the Tx Rate should be set to Fully automatic, which will automatically adjust the transfer speed for best performance and longest range. Power Saving Mode, or PS Mode, enables or disables the power saving features of your PC Card. This setting can only be enabled or disabled in Infrastructure mode. The Channel setting specifies the channel used in wireless communication and should be set to the same channel as the other points in the wireless network.
