Owner's Manual

NOTE: The 802.11a/b/g/n Auto setting is available only for DW WLAN Cards that are IEEE 802.11n capable. If your DW
WLAN Card supports 802.11n operation, you can connect to IEEE 802.11n IBSS networks. The maximum rate achievable
for a IEEE 802.11n IBSS association is 270 Mbps, but this rate is achievable only when you join a IEEE 802.11n IBSS
network that was established to operate within a 40 MHz bandwidth. The maximum rate for most IEEE 802.11n IBSS
networks is 130 Mbps. The maximum rate for IEEE 802.11n IBSS networks created by a DW WLAN Card is 130 Mbps.
IBSS Mode is used to set the connection type in an ad hoc network. The following options are available for single-band (2.4
GHz band) adapters:
802.11b Only (default). Links only with IEEE 802.11b networks at up to 11 Mbps.
802.11b/g Auto. Links with IEEE 802.11g and 802.11b networks at up to 54 Mbps.
The following options are available for dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) adapters:
802.11b Only (default). Links with IEEE 802.11b networks at up to 11 Mbps or 802.11a networks at up to 54 Mbps.
802.11a/b/g Auto. Links with IEEE 802.11g, 802.11b, and 802.11a networks at up to 54 Mbps.
802.11a/b/g/n Auto. Links with IEEE 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b, and 802.11a networks at up to 270 Mbps.
Locally Administered MAC Address
Locally Administered MAC Address is used to override the MAC address of the DW WLAN Card. The Locally Administered MAC
Address is a user-defined MAC address that is used in place of the MAC address originally assigned to the network adapter.
Every adapter in the network must have its own unique MAC address. This locally administered address consists of a 12-digit
hexadecimal number.
Value. Assigns a unique node address for the adapter.
Not Present (Default). Uses the factory-assigned node address on the adapter.
The appropriate assigned ranges and exceptions for the locally administered address include the following:
• The range is 00:00:00:00:00:01 to FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FD.
• Do not use a multicast address (least significant bit of the high byte = 1).
• Set locally administered address (bit 1 of the high byte = 1).
• Do not use all 0s or all F's.
Location
Users who purchased their DW WLAN Card in the United States have USA as the default location; users who purchased their
DW WLAN Card in Japan have Japan as their default location. For all other users, the Location property is not available. See
Radio Approvals for additional information.
Lock Wireless Settings
When this property is disabled, the Let this tool manage my wireless networks check box on the Wireless Networks
tab of DW WLAN Card Utility is available. You can let either Windows WZC or DW WLAN Card Utility manage your wireless
networks by either selecting or clearing the check box. When this property is disabled, the check box is unavailable.
