User's Manual

− Network Name (SSID): A Network Name is mandatory for ad hoc
mode. The SSID for all stations in a single ad hoc network must be
the same.
− Network Connection: Ad Hoc.
− Power Saving: Power saving mode is not currently supported in an ad
hoc network.
− Turbo Mode: All stations participating in the ad hoc network must
have the same rate setting.
− Locally Administered Address: This field defines the locally
administered MAC address (LAA). To enter a value in the address
field, the check box needs to be selected.
2. You can optionally set up security features, but it is not typically a
requirement because the duration of the ad hoc network tends to be
limited. Currently, shared key security is supported in ad hoc mode.
Future Alphanetworks software implementations will provide unique key
support.
