Ad-Hoc is a wireless connection used without an access point, where your DCS-942L is directly connecting to your PC. This is done using the on-board wireless adapter on the DCS-942L connected to a wireless adapter on the PC. Security Mode: The DCS-942L provides three options for wireless security; None, WEP, and WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK. Select the same encryption method that is being used by your wireless device/router. WEP provides security by encrypting data over your wireless network so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one wireless device to another. To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. Key: An appropriate Preshared Key, which is needed in order to connect to the wireless network. Check the Show Hidden Key box to reveal the password you have entered. Channel: The default setting is channel 6. Select the same channel that is being used by other wireless devices within your network. When there is an interference from the wireless networks that overlap with one another, you may change the channel to obtain maximum performance for your connection. Click the Save Settings button to save your changes. D-Link DCS-942L User Manual 30
