Any of the fields shown below can be changed without re-starting the OS.
Profile name
A profile is a named set of operating parameters for the G101 WLAN adapter to display the available
profiles for the G101 WLAN adapter.
Network Type
The G101 WLAN adapter can operate in one of two modes, which are specified in the Mode field of the
Configuration menu. Clicking the down arrow at the right of the Mode field displays the available
modes.
•Ad-Hoc Station- This is the 802.11b/g Ad-Hoc mode of operation. In “Ad-Hoc” mode, only one
wireless “ cell ” is supported for each different NETWORK NAME. All communication is done from
client to client without the use of an Access Point. “Peer-to-Peer” networking uses the same NETWORK
NAME for the wireless adapters in establishing the network connection. When “Ad-Hoc ” mode is
selected, the utility will provide a selection for setting the channel.
•Infrastructure Station- This mode of operation requires the presence of an 802.11b/g Infrastructure.
All communication is done through the Infrastructure, which relays packets to other wireless clients as
well as to nodes on a wired Ethernet network.
Page 44
G101 Series WLAN Card
SSID
The name of the wireless network. This name cannot be longer than 32 characters. The default value is
“any”, which will automatically scan and connect the best performance Access point nearby. User may
specify a SSID for the adapter and then only the device with the same SSID can interconnect to the
adapter.
Channel
When communicating in Ad-Hoc mode, User must specify a channel on which communications will
take place. This field is grayed in infrastructure mode because the Access Point automatically selects the
channel.
Desired Rate
The Transmit Rate field specifies the rate at which the radio in user’s G101 WLAN adapter transmits
and receives data. User can set this to the following fixed rates: 1 Mbps; 2 Mbps; 5.5 Mbps; 6 Mbps; 9
Mbps; 12 Mbps; 18 Mbps; 24 Mbps; 36 Mbps; 48 Mbps or 54 Mbps.
Automatic - When it is enabled, the device will choose the most suitable transmission rate
automatically.
Apply
Click “Apply” button to save and implement the new settings.

Power Saving
Power Saving mode allows to using reduced power during idle time by going into “sleep” mode, saving
energy costs.
• Disable –The card will always set in active mode.
• Enable(Fast) –Enable the card in the power saving mode when it is idle, but some components of the
card is still alive. In this mode, the power consumption is larger than “Max“ mode.
• Enable(Max) –Enable the card in the power saving mode when it is idle.
Preamble Type
defines the length of CRC block in the frames during the wireless communication.
• Long –“Long ” can provide more reliable communication.
• Short –“Short ” is suitable for high traffic wireless network.
• Auto –the card will auto switch the preamble mode depending on the wireless networks card is
connecting to.
Fragment Threshold
The value defines the maximum size of packets, any packet size larger than the value will be fragmented.
If user have decreased this value and experience high packet error rates, user can increase it again, but it
will likely decrease overall network performance. Select a setting within a range of 256 to 2346 bytes.
Minor change is recommended.
RTS Threshold

„
After step 3, the connection is established.
2. Network related setting:
Item 1: To change the MAC address of IPN2220 station, execute
“./ifconfig wlan0 hw ether xxxxxxxxxxxx” (xxxxxxxxxxxx denotes the new MAC address
user want to set)
before user specify an IP address to the IPN2220 station.
Item 2: To perform site survey,
execute
"./iwlist wlan0 scanning"
to scan all channels and display the scan results. Notice that the wireless-extension version
should be at least 15 for iwlist/iwconfig utilities to execute this command.
Item 3: To join a different BSS,
execute
"./iwconfig wlan0 essid XXX" (XXX denotes the essid of AP you want to join)
Item 4: To specify the channel of the ad- hoc network user want to create,
execute,
“./iwconfig wlan0 channel N” (N denotes the channel of the ad-hoc network user want to
create, from 1 to 11)
Item 5: To change from infrastructure mode to ad-hoc mode,
execute
"./iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc"
then execute
"./iwconfig wlan0 essid XXX" (XXX means the essid user want to set/join to the IBSS
network)
Item 6: To change from ad- hoc mode to infrastructure mode,
execute
"iwconfig wlan0 mode managed"
then execute
"./iwconfig wlan0 essid XXX" (XXX means the essid of AP you want to join)
Item 7: To join different BSS,
execute
Page 57
G101 Series WLAN Card
"./iwconfig wlan0 essid XXX" (XXX means the essid of AP you want to join)
3. Network related setting:
To enable WEP or change WEP key, please refer to the instructions below:
(1) To set WEP key to key set $i, enable WEP and use key set $i as WEP key, the command is
"./iwconfig wlan0 key xxxxxxxxxx [$i]" ,(xxxxxxxxxx denotes WEP key)($i:1~4)
(2) If user execute "./iwconfig wlan0 key xxxxxxxxxx" ,(xxxxxxxxxx denotes the WEP key)
without specifying the key ID "[$i]", then the default WEP key ID will be 1.
(3) To disable WEP at any time, the command is "./iwconfig wlan0 key off".
(4) To enable WEP that you have set before via (1) or (2) or (3), the command is "./iwconfig
wlan0 key on".
(5)To enable WEP and use key set $i as WEP key.($i can be 1~4) that you have set before via
(1) or (2) or (3), the command is "./iwconfig wlan0 key [$i]"
If user want to join a BSS with different WEP key setting, execute the following two
command.
(1) "./iwconfig wlan0 key xxxxxxxxxx", (xxxxxxxxxx denotes WEP key)
(2) "./iwconfig wlan0 essid XXX", (XXX denotes the essid of AP you want to join)
(3)Notice, the executing sequence is unrelated in infrastructure mode. But in ad-hoc mode,
user must execute (1) first or user will create an ad- hoc network with the same SSID but
different WEP setting.
4. Remove step:
To turn off STA and remove the module,
execute
"ifconfig wlan0 down" then execute
"rmmod IPN2220STA"
