(c) Channel
Shows the current channel the Adapter is operating on. When operating
in
Infrastructure mode, the channel is set automatically by the access point
or
wireless router that the Adapter is connected to. You cannot change the
channels in Infrastructure mode. In Ad-Hoc mode, the channel can be
set
manually. For more information about operating in Ad-Hoc mode, see
“Operating
in Ad-Hoc Mode”.
(d) SSID
The SSID is the wireless network name. This field shows the current
SSID with
which the Adapter is associated. The default (factory) setting is “ANY”,
which
will cause the Adapter to automatically look for any wireless network in
the area.
To connect to a specific wireless network, you can manually enter the
SSID of
the known wireless network. Note that the SSID is case-sensitive, so,
capital
letters do make a difference. To change the SSID, click in the SSID field,
type the
SSID you want, then click “Apply”.
