3-2 Network Basic Configuration
To add a new Ad Hoc or Infrastructure profile, click New on the Profile Management
tab. The dialog box displays three tabs: General, Security and Advanced.
3-2-1 General Tab
The configuration items on the General tab are described as below.
Profile Name: Enter a unique name to identify this network setting.
Configuration names are not case sensitive.
Network Names (SSID):
• Ad Hoc mode: It is the name of the Wireless LAN group you want to create
or participate in. This field has a maximum limit of 32 characters. A
network name is mandatory for Ad Hoc mode. The SSID for all stations in
a single Ad Hoc network must be the same. Enter only one SSID.
• Infrastructure mode: It is the name of the Wireless LAN group you want to
participate in. This field has a maximum limit of 32 characters. You can
enter up to three SSID. In an Infrastructure network, the SSID must match
on AP and all the wireless clients to communicate with each other.
Note that under Access Point mode, if the Network Name (SSID) field is
left blank or filled in with the special SSID name “any”, your Wireless LAN
Card will connect to the first compatible and “open” AP with the best
signal strength within the connection range. It allows your Wireless LAN
Card to wander across networks with different SSID.
