mode {apadhoc802.11adhoc}

You can set the infrastructure mode (ap) , the

 

 

 

802.11 ad hoc mode (802.11adhoc), or the ad hoc

 

 

 

mode (adhoc).

 

 

 

The default is ad hoc mode.

ssid “ID value

You can make settings for the SSID in the infra-

 

 

 

structure mode.

 

 

 

Usable characters are ASCII 0x20-0x7e (32 bytes).

 

 

 

An SSID value is set automatically to the nearest

 

 

 

access point if no setting is made.

 

 

 

If no setting is made for the ad hoc mode, the same

 

 

 

value as for the infrastructure mode or an ASSID

 

 

 

value is automatically set. The default is blank.

 

 

 

 

 

 

channel frequency “channel no.

You can enable or disable the WEP function. To en-

 

 

 

able the WEP function, specify [on]; to disable it,

 

 

 

specify [off].

 

 

 

To start the WEP function, enter the correct WEP

 

 

 

key. The default is “11”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

key “key value” val {1234}

You can specify the WEP key when entering in

 

 

 

hexadecimal.

 

 

 

With a 64-bit WEP, you can use 10 digit hexadeci-

 

 

 

mals. With a 128-bit WEP, you can use 26 digit

 

 

 

hexadecimals.

 

 

 

Up to four WEP keys can be registered. Specify the

 

 

 

number to be registered with “val”.

 

 

 

When a WEP is specified by key, the WEP speci-

 

 

 

fied by key phrase is overwritten.

 

 

 

To use this function, set the same key number and

 

 

 

WEP key for all ports that transmit data to each

 

 

 

other. Put “0x”on the front of WEP key.

 

 

 

You can omit the numbers with “val”. The key

 

 

 

number is set to 1 when making these omissions.

 

 

 

The default is blank.
