Configuring the PCI Wireless Network Adapter
1. This screen shows you the status of your current connection. Click Re-Scan to
search for wireless connection (the adapter will search for the connection
automatically when it is activated).
2. Select the “ Configuration” tab. The profile setting allows you to save
configurations in different profiles for different working environments. The default
profile will contain the initial configuration setting when you install the Card. Under
the Operating Mode drop-box, you may choose either Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc.
The Infrastructure mode allows a wireless adapter to communicate with a wired
network employing an Access Point, while the Ad-Hoc mode allows wireless-to-
wireless, peer-to-peer communication. If you choose Infrastructure, the SSID
should have the same name as the Access Point. If you choose Ad-Hoc, all clients
should share the same SSID name. You may also select which Transfer Rate you
wish to use: 1, 2, 5.5, 11Mbps or Auto Rate. Under Power Saving Mode, you can
select Enabled to allow your adapter to go to sleep mode while the adapter doesn’ t
proceed the data transmission. Or select Disabled to make the adapter never go to
sleep mode. Click Apply to save the settings.
