GeoWave GW-EN11H Wireless Ethernet Adapter User's Manual

The Wireless Tab

Operating Mode: lets you select the network scenarios, either Ad-Hoc or Infrastructure. Default setting is “Infrastructure”

SSID: lets you set the Service Set Identifications:

Default SSID is “Any”. When set to any, the adapter is allowed access to any nearby AP.

Channel: enables you to select a transmission channel.

Transmission Rate: displays a list of transfer rates.

Access point density: enables you to set the relative number of access points near the GW-EN11H. Use this setting to reduce channel overlap and interference:

• Low: 1-2 nearby APs

• Medium: 3-4 nearby APs

• High: 5 or more nearby APs

When connected in an infrastructure or ad-hoc mode, a list of nearby APs or peers is displayed at the bottom of the Info screen. When you re-load the web page, the list will be updated.

WEP enabled: Allows you to enable or disable Wired Equivalency Privacy (WEP) for encryption, with either 64- or 128-bit encryption.

WEP key length: Enables you to choose either a 64- or 128-bit encryption scheme. Be sure that the adapter’s WEP key must be the same as the AP’s, otherwise adapter still can not communicate with wireless LAN.

Note: Some APs do not support 128-bit encryption
