Leaving the zone blank causes the utility to report the current setting only. Following are valid zone abbreviations. These settings are consistent with IEEE802.11b/g zones:

US=United States

CA=Canada

FR=France

SP=Spain

JP=Japan

OT=Others, such as Europe (excluding France), Asia, Africa, and Australia

To modify WLAN settings, select 4 WLAN from the Change Setup menu.

Topology

Select Infrastructure (ESS) mode or Adhoc (IBSS) mode. Infrastructure mode communicates with Access Points. Ad Hoc mode communicates only with other clients.

Topology 0=Infrastructure, 1=Adhoc (1) ? _

Network Name (SSID)

Enter the name of the network to which the XPress DR+W will connect.

Network name (LTRX_IBSS) ? _

Adhoc Network Channel

When Adhoc is selected in the Topology parameter, and the XPress DR+W cannot find the specified network, it creates one with that name by transmitting a beacon on the selected channel.

Channel (11) ? _

Only channels allowed in the country for which the XPress DR+W is designated can be selected. The country displays in the Setup Mode settings overview.

Security

The Security Suite prompt enables you to select the type of security. The XPress DR+W features WEP, WPA and WPA2/802.11i to secure all wireless communication. WPA and WPA2/802.11i are only available when the topology is Infrastructure.

Notes:

In the WPA and WPA2 modes, the encryption setting denotes the lowest acceptable encryption method, CCMP > TKIP > WEP. For example, if the unit is configured for WEP, and the Access Point supports TKIP, the negotiation will result in TKIP being used. If the unit is configured for TKIP, and the Access Point only supports WEP, association will fail because the Access Point does not meet the unit's demands. (CCMP is only available in WPA2 mode.)

Communication between the Access Point and a single wireless device is called unicast and uses the pairwise encryption method. Communication from the Access
