SSID: Service Set Identifier is a name that identifies a wireless network. Access points and wireless devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) must use the same SSID.The default setting is default.

Wireless Mode: Click on the pull-down menu; select from the following options:

Infrastructure - Connecting to the WLAN using an access point. (This is the default setting.)

Ad-Hoc- Wireless mode used when connecting directly to a computer equipped with a wireless adapter in a Peer-to-Peer environment.

Channel: The channel selection is automatically determined by the DWL-G510. In Ad- Hoc mode, the channel must be manually set to the same channel for each wireless adapter.

Tx Rate: Tx rates are automatically determined for an optimal speed up to 54Mbps.

Preamble: Select Long or Short preamble. The Preamble defines the length of the CRC block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a common technique for detecting data transmission errors) for communication between the access point and the wireless network adapters. High network traffic areas should use the shorter preamble type.

Power Mode: Select from three modes:

Continuous Access Mode - This default setting consumes the most power. Maximum Power Save - This setting consumes the least power.

Power Save - This setting consumes a moderate amount of power.

Click Apply to save the changes.
