All communication is done from Client to Clientwithout the use of an Access Point. 802.11 Ad Hoc networking uses the same SSID forestablishing the wireless connection. Infrastructure - This mode of operation requires the presence of an 802.11 Access Point. Allcommunication is done via the Access Point, which relays packets to other wireless Clients inthe BSS as well as to nodes on a wired network such as Ethernet. TX Rate – The transmission rate at which client of AP transmits the data packets. You can set thisto fixed 1Mbps, fixed 2 Mbps, fixed 5.5 Mbps or 11 Mbps. PS Mode - Power saving mode.
Wireless LANPage 22 11Mbps Wireless LAN PC Card User's manual“ENCRYPTION” tab Figure 5 Management window with “Encryption” tab open You may desire an additional measure of security on your wireless network, which can beachieved by using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption. WEP encrypts each frametransmitted from the radio using one of the Keys entered from this panel.When an encrypted frame is received it will only be accepted if it decrypts correctly. This will onlyhappen if the receiver has the WEP Key used by the transmitter.This panel allows the entry of four keys for 64-bit encryption and one set of 128-bit key accordingto WEP function select. To be written to the driver and registry, each key must consist of hex digits,which means that only digit 0-9 and letters A-F are valid entries. If entered incorrectly program willnot write keys to a driver.Alternatively a Pass-phrase can be entered which is used as a “seed” to randomly generate thefour keys. This saves considerable time since the same keys must be entered into each node onthe wireless network.
