Gemtek Technology Co., Ltd.
Peer to Peer - This is the 802.11b peer-to-peer mode of operation. In 802.11b Ad Hoc, only one
wireless “ cell” is supported for each different SSID. All communication is done from Client to Client
without the use of an Access Point. 802.11b Ad Hoc networking uses the same SSID for
establishing the wireless connection.
Access Point - This 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.
Transmit Rate – The transmission rate at which client of AP transmits the data packets. You may
set this to fixed 1Mbps, fixed 2 Mbps, fixed 5.5 Mbps, fixed 11 Mbps or Automatic.
Encryption (WEP) - You may desire an additional measure of security on your wireless network,
which can be achieved by using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption.
When an encrypted frame is received it will only be accepted if it decrypts correctly. This will only
happen if the receiver has the WEP Key used by the transmitter.
