2. Select the Configuration tab.
In the Profile box, you can enter a
name for a profile, or group of set-
tings, and change any of the set-
tings on this page. Then, multiple
profiles can be saved with differ-
ent settings. These profiles allow
multiple configurations for quick
switching between networks, etc.
Under the Wireless Mode drop-
box, you may choose either
Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc.
Infrastructure Mode allows a
wireless adapter to communicate
with a wired network employing
an Access Point, while the Ad-
Hoc mode allows wireless-to-
wireless, peer-to-peer communication. If you choose Infrastructure, the SSID
should have the same name as the Access Point. If you choose Ad-Hoc, all clients
should share the same SSID name. You may also select which Transfer Rate
you wish to use: Auto Rate or 1, 2, 5.5, or 11Mbps. Under Power Saving
Mode, select Disabled for uninterrupted data communication, or Enabled to
allow your PC to enter "sleep" mode, during which data communication could
be interrupted. Click Apply Changes to save the settings.
3. Select the Site Survey tab. The
list on the adjacent screen shows
you available Access Points and
their features. Click on the
desired Access Point, then click
Connect to connect or Search to
search for more Access Points.
Click OK when you are finished.
