The “CONFIGURE” tab

At the “CONFIGURE” tab you can view current settings for:

ESSID – The ESSID is a unique ID given to the Access Point. Wireless clients using the same Access Point, must have the same ESSID as the Access Point.

Note: Specifying an ESSID will prevent you from inadvertently connecting to a different wireless network.

Network Type – Use “Infrastructure” mode if you will be using an Access Point in your network. Use “ad-hoc”, if you will not be using an Access Point. Ad-hoc requires the same channel and the same ESSID for all computers on the network. 802.11 Ad-hoc acquires the same channel and ESSID among all wireless stations.

PS Mode – The “Power Save” mode is used to save battery life while the Wireless Compact Flash Adapter goes into sleep mode.

Note: In “Power Save” mode, the Access Points used must support “Power Saving” for communication to be established.

Tx Rate – The default transfer rate of “Fully Auto” or “Auto rate” is the most efficient choice since it will allow the DCF-650Wto adjust to the most optimal transfer rate available. However, options are provided for setting a fixed transfer rate.

You may make modifications to these settings if needed.

Click Modify after you make the changes.
