To edit the settings manually, select Automatic configuration > Disabled, and define the following: • Long retry limit - Enter the maximum number of transmission attempts if the device does not receive a receiving acknowledgement signal from the network. • Short retry limit - Enter the maximum number of transmission attempts if the device does not receive a clear-to-send signal from the network. • RTS threshold - Select the data packet size at which the WLAN access point device issues a request to send before sending the packet. • TX power level - Select the power level of your device when sending data. • Radio measurements - Enable or disable the radio measurements. • Power saving - Select whether to use the WLAN power saving mechanism to save the power in the device battery. Using the power saving mechanism enhances the battery performance but may weaken WLAN interoperability. To restore all settings to their original values, select Options > Restore defaults. WLAN security settings Select Menu > Ctrl. panel > Settings and Connection > Destinations > Access point, and follow the instructions on the display. To edit a wireless LAN (WLAN) access point, open one of the access point groups, and select an access point marked with .

When the WEP security mode is in use, and your device receives a data packet not encrypted with the WEP keys, the data is discarded. In an ad-hoc network, all devices must use the same WEP key. Select WLAN security settings and from the following: • WEP key in use - Select the desired WEP key. • Authentication type - Select Open or Shared. • WEP key settings - Edit the settings for the WEP key. WEP key settings In an ad-hoc network, all devices must use the same WEP key.
