becomes “Poor”. Link Quality is a measurement of receiving and transmitting
errors over the radio.
Configuration Tab
The Configuration Tab contains several fields where operating parameters of
the driver can be viewed or changed. Changes to any of the parameters in
this panel can be applied to the driver without a need to restart the PDA.
Profile Name
Each Profile represents specific settings of the PC Card. You can set the
settings for each profile. Next time when you want to change the PC Card
settings, you can just select the profile you want to use.
Network Name
Network Name is the group name that will be shared by every member of
your wireless network. You will only be able to connect with an WLAN device
that has the same Network Name.
Network Type
This field allows you to select from a list of supported Network Types. The
types displayed have two values: “Access Point” and “Peer-to-Peer”.
Access Point -The infrastructure mode of operation requires the
presence of an 802.11b Access Point. All
communication is done via the Access Point, which
relays packets to other wireless clients in the BSS as
well as to nodes on a wired network such as Ethernet.
