The “CONFIGURE” tab
At the “CONFIGURE” tab you can view current settings for:
ESSID – The ESSID is a unique ID given to the Access Point. Wireless clients
using the same Access Point, must have the same ESSID as the Access Point.
Note: Specifying an ESSID will prevent you from inadvertently connecting to a
different wireless network.
Network Type – Use “Infrastructure” mode if you will be using an Access Point in
your network. Use “ad-hoc”, if you will not be using an Access Point. Ad-hoc
requires the same channel and the same ESSID for all computers on the
network. 802.11 Ad-hoc acquires the same channel and ESSID among all
wireless stations.
PS Mode – The “Power Save” mode is used to save battery life while the Wireless
Compact Flash Adapter goes into sleep mode.
Note: In “Power Save” mode, the Access Points used must support “Power Saving”
for communication to be established.
Tx Rate – The default transfer rate of “Fully Auto” or “Auto rate” is the most
efficient choice since it will allow the DCF-650W to adjust to the most
optimal transfer rate available. However, options are provided for setting a
fixed transfer rate.
You may make modifications to these settings if needed.
Click Modify after you make the changes.
