Wireless-G Game Adapter

The Advanced Settings Tab

Use the Advanced Settings screen to change the Game Adapter’s advanced wireless settings, clone a MAC address onto the Game Adapter, change the password, or restore its default settings.

LAN

IP Address - Select Obtain IP address automatically (DHCP) if your network router automatically assigns IP addresses. Select Use the following IP settings if you want to assign a static or fixed IP address to the Game Adapter. Then enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway address in the fields provided.

IP Address - This IP Address must be unique to your network.

Subnet Mask - The Game Adapter’s Subnet Mask must be the same as your wired network’s Subnet Mask.

Gateway - Enter the IP address of your network’s Gateway here.

Advanced Wireless

Transmission Rate - The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your wireless network. You can select from a range of transmission speeds, or keep the default setting, Automatic, to have the Game Adapter automatically use the fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto- Fallback will negotiate the best possible connection speed between the Game Adapter and your wireless router or access point.

Mode - If you have both Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices in your network, keep the default setting, Mixed Mode. If you have only Wireless-G devices in your network, select G-Only Mode for maximum network speeds.

Authentication - The default is set to Auto, which allows either Open System or Shared Key authentication to be used. For Open System authentication, the sender and recipient do NOT use a WEP key for authentication. For Shared Key authentication, the sender and recipient use a WEP key for authentication. Select the authentication method your network is using, Open System or Shared Key. If you are not sure which method to select, keep the default, Auto.

Cloning

Cloning Mode - The MAC cloning feature allows you to clone the MAC address of the device currently connected to the Game Adapter’s Network port. The Game Adapter will actively scan for a new MAC address to be cloned whenever you disconnect and re-connect the Game Adapter through its Network port. The default setting, Automatic, enables the MAC cloning feature. To disable MAC address cloning, select Disabled.
