Network Type
There are 2 network types for the 802.11g Wireless LAN PCI Card to operate. If you need to
access company network or Internet via Access Point, select “Infrastructure”. If standard
“Ad-Hoc” is selected, you need to set wireless stations with the same ESS ID.
SSID
The SSID is the unique ID used by Access Points and stations to identify a wireless LAN.
Wireless clients associating to any Access Point must have the same SSID. The default setting is
ANY, which allows your Wireless LAN PCI Card to automatically associate to any Access Point
(Infrastructure mode) in the vicinity of your wireless adapter. The SSID can be set up to 32
characters and is case sensitive.
