2Use the Enterasys Networks Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager to select the Ethernet Adapter and launch the Configuration Management System.

3Under System Configuration, click Wireless Network.

4In the Wireless Network page:

a Locate the Network Mode field and select Ad-hoc(Peer-to-Peer).

b Specify the Wireless LAN Service Area and the Channel Selection as described in “Setting Wireless Network Properties” on page 33.

c Set the Data Preamble.

To increase performance, select Short (Enhanced performance). When equipment that does not support short preamble is also being used, select Long (Wi-Fi Interoperable). When you are finished, click Apply.

Security settings default to Open System (no security). Optionally, you can set different WEP settings as described in “Changing Wireless Security Settings” on page 36.

5When you are finished, click Apply.

6End the browser session.

7Repeat steps 1–6 with the second Ethernet Adapter. Make sure you configure Ethernet Adapter settings to match exactly. When you are finished, click Apply and end the browser session.

8Connect the Ethernet devices to the Ethernet Adapters. If you use hubs, make sure that the Ethernet Adapters are connected through the hub uplink ports.

Changing Wireless Under System Configuration, click Wireless Security. The Wireless Security Security Settings Settings page appears, where you can select the type of security to be

used on the Ethernet Adapter.

The Ethernet Adapter can be configured to support three types of data encryption: WEP, TKIP, and AES. After selecting a data encryption type, you can select an authentication type.

The following sections describe the settings. To maintain wireless association, the settings on clients and the access points they associate with (or other members of an ad-hoc network) must match exactly.
