Network Type

Infrastructure – Select the Infrastructure mode to establish a connection with an Access Point. Your computer is able to access wireless LAN and wired LAN (Ethernet), via an associated access point. The Channel field turns to Auto when Infrastructure is selected.

Ad Hoc – Select the Ad Hoc mode to communicate directly with other wireless cards or adaptors without using an Access Point. An Ad Hoc network is typically formed quickly and easily without pre-planning. For example, share meeting notes between networked computers in a meeting room.

Network Name (SSID)

Use the SSID field to configure the SSID for the A111 card. You can enter a new SSID or select one from the drop-down list box. SSID stands for Service Set Identifier, which is a string used to identify a wireless LAN. You will only be able to connect Access Points which has the same SSID as the one you set. Use different SSIDs to segment the wireless LAN and increase security. SSIDs must all be printable characters and have a maximum of 32 case sensitive characters, such

as Wireless LAN.

NOTE: Set the SSID to a null string, if you wish to allow your station to connect to any Access Point it can find. You cannot use null string in Ad Hoc mode.
