PCE-N15 WLAN Card User Manual

Configuration - Basic

Network Type

Infrastructure - Select the Infrastructure mode to establish a connection with an AP.

Ad Hoc - Select the Ad Hoc mode to communicate with a station. An Ad Hoc network is formed quickly and easily

without pre-planning. For example, you can share meeting notes among networked computers in a meeting room.

Action mode name & Network Name (SSID) - Key in or select from the dropdown list the SSID of an AP or station you are trying to connect to. An SSID must be valid characters and have a maximum of 32 case sensitive characters, such as Wireless LAN.

NOTE: Set the SSID to a null string if you want to allow your WLAN card to connect to any AP it can find. You cannot use a null string in the Ad Hoc mode.

Channel - Select a radio channel for your WLAN card. In the Infrastructure mode, your WLAN card automatically selects the correct channel required to communicate with an AP and this field shows Auto. In the Ad Hoc mode, you are allowed to select a channel for your WLAN Card. WLAN cards in the same network can communicate with each other if they have the same channel setting.

The radio channels you can use depend on the regulations in your country. In the United States (FCC) and Canada (IC), channels 1 to 11 are supported. In Europe (ETSI), channels 1 to 13 are supported. In Japan (MKK), channels 1 to 14 are supported.

Data Rate - Auto: The WLAN card adjusts to the most suitable transmission rate automatically.
