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.
