Wireless 54 Mbps PCI Card

server settings you entered for this WLAN profile will be used for the connection. When

you terminate the WLAN link, the saved IP address and proxy server settings will be

restored to their previous values.

Selecting the Connection Type

Clicking the Automatically connect to non-preferred networks click-box will allow your

WIRELESS LAN CARD to attempt to connect to any WLAN network it detects. Of course,

if the WLAN network is password protected or using WEP encryption and you do not have

the proper password or WEP keys, the WIRELESS LAN CARD will not be able to connect

to this network.

Under the WLAN type to connect heading, you can select the type of WLAN networks you

would prefer to connect to. Infrastructure WLAN networks use a WLAN Access Point,

while ad hoc networks use only WLAN network adapters to establish a peer-to-peer

network.

Disabling the Radio

Clicking the Disable Radio click-box and then clicking the Apply or OK button will disable

the WIRELESS LAN CARD  and stop the WLAN link without having to remove the

WIRELESS LAN CARD from your PC.

Advance Settings

Under the Advance Setting heading, you can select the operating standard the WIRELESS

LAN CARD will use to connect to WLAN networks. You can choose between using both

the IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g standard or just the 802.11b standard.

You can also select other operating parameters such as automatic or dedicated selection

of a radio channel for ad hoc networks, how the WIRELESS LAN CARD will react to the

power saving settings in your notebook PC, and the amount of power used to transmit the

radio signal that maintains the WLAN link.
