Configuration Program Controls

Peer-to-Peer Channel:

This command is only available while you are operating the Peer-to-Peermode, the so- called Ad-Hoc mode. Specify the operating radio frequency channel from the pull-down menu if you are the creator of the wireless network. If you are the joiner, just configure the SSID and click Apply. Note that the available channels differ from country to country, and the channel number must be the same between the entries/stations within the range, so that each can communicate with each other. While in the Access Point mode, the channel number would be the same as the associated access point. Thus, there’s no need to manually set up the value.

Transmit Rate:

This command allows you to indicate the rate of transferring the data packet from the associated access point or any nodes within the range. There are four options for you: Auto 1 or 2 Mb, 5.5 Mb, 11 Mb, and Fully Automatic. Specify the rate from the provided options according to the speed of your wireless network, or you may simply choose Fully Automatic to set the best available rate according to the received signal quality and the capabilities of the associated access point or station.
