Chapter 3 Installing the Client Adapter

Installing the Driver and Client Utilities

Step 16 Select Data Rates under Property. Make sure that Auto is selected in the list of options in the Value box.

Data Rates	Specifies the rate at which you want your client adapter to transmit or
	receive packets to or from access points (in infrastructure mode) or
	other clients (in ad hoc mode).
	Auto is recommended for infrastructure mode; setting a specific data
	rate is recommended for ad hoc mode.
	Default: Auto
	Data Rate		Description
	Auto		Uses the 11-Mbps data rate when possible
			but drops to lower rates when necessary
	1 Mb Only		Offers the greatest range but the lowest
			throughput
	2 Mb Only		Offers less range but greater throughput
			than the 1 Mbps Only option
	5.5 Mb Only		Offers less range but greater throughput
			than the 2 Mbps Only option
	11 Mb Only		Offers the greatest throughput but the
			lowest range
	Note	Your client adapter’s data rate must be set to Auto or must
		match the data rate of the access point (in infrastructure
		mode) or the other clients (in ad hoc mode) with which it is
		to communicate. Otherwise, your client adapter may not be
		able to associate to them.

Step 17 Click OK. The driver and client utility installation is complete. The client adapter has been installed and configured for basic operation. Go to the “Verifying Installation” section on page 3-8to determine if the installation was successful. Then if you want to enable security features for the client adapter, go to Chapter 4.

Note If you want to be able to use the client adapter on another Windows CE device, you can install the driver and client utilities on that device without having to complete all of the previous steps. Refer to the “Installing the Driver and Client Utilities on Other Windows CE Devices” section below for instructions.
