Channel: Select a clear and available channel as an operational channel for your wireless
station adapter when it performs as Ad-Hoc mode or AP with repeating mode.
Mode: There are three different wireless modes to operate, “B Only Mode”, “G Only Mode”,
and “B/G Mixed Mode”. In B/G Mixed Mode, the wireless station adapter is compatible with a
mix of both 802.11g and 802.11b clients. You will see that the factory-set default “B/G Mixed
Mod” will prove the most efficient. B Only Mode is compatible with 802.11b clients only. This
mode can be used only if you do not allow any 802.11g clients to join a network. G Only
Mode is compatible with 802.11g clients only. This mode can be used only if you do not allow
any 802.11b clients to access to the network. To switch the mode, select the desired mode
form the pull-down menu next to “Mode”.
Rate: The wireless station adapter provides various data rate options for you to choose. Data
rates options include Auto, 1, 2, 5.5, 11, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54. The default setting
is Auto.
Country/Region: Allows you to select country domain in case there is any chances that you
would use wireless network in other countries. There are a total of 11 countries for you to
select. They are Africa, Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe, France, Israel, Japan, Mexico,
South America, and USA. Note that if your AP and station adapter are in different standards,
please use the “Country/Region” item to switch the standards of the station adapter (For
example, when set to client mode, if your Access Point is America standard but your station
adapter is Japanese standard, you can pull down the “Country/Region” option to switch
your station adapter from Japanese standard to American standard.). As long as you change
the country domain, the channel will switch to correspond with the country you changed.
Password: You may change the default password by entering the new password.
Click “Apply” if you have made any changes.
Security Page
Security Mode: This 802.11g WLAN outdoor hotspot allows you to create up to 4 data
encryption keys to secure your data from being eavesdropping by unauthorized wireless
users. To enable the encryption, all devices on the network must share the same WEP key.
Disable: Allows the wireless station AP to communicate with the Access Point without
any data encryption.
WEP40: Requires the wireless station adapter to use data encryption with 40-bit
algorithm when communicating with the Access Point.
