D-Link DWL-520 Product Manual - Page 14

Configuration Utility (continued) Configuration (continued) To communicate on the network all devices must have the same settings for the following properties: SSID - (Service Set Identifier) is a name that identifies a wireless network. Access Points and wireless clients attempting to connect to a specific WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) must use the same SSID. The default setting is default. Wireless Mode - Click on the pull-down menu; select from the following options: Infrastructure - connecting the WLAN using an Access Point such as the DWL-900AP+. (The default setting.) Ad-Hoc - wireless mode used when connecting directly to a computer equipped with a wireless adapter such as the D-Link AirPlus DWL-520+ Wireless PCI adapter in a peer-to-peer environment. Channel - The default channel setting is channel 6. However, the DWL520+ will automatically select the channel to match the channel setting for the selected Access Point. In Ad Hoc mode, the channel must be manually set to the same channel for each wireless adapter. TX Rate - Select the transmission rate on the network. 11Mbps is the default setting. Preamble - Select Long or Short Preamble. The Preamble defines the length of the CRC block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a common technique for detecting data transmission errors) for communication between the Access Point and the roaming wireless Network adapters. Long Preamble is the default setting. Note: High network traffic areas should use the shorter preamble type. Power Mode - Select from three modes: Continuous Access Mode-this default setting consumes the most power Maximum Power Save-this setting consumes the least power Power Save- this setting consumes a moderate amount of power. 4x Config - Select 4x Disable or 4x Enable. The 4x feature increases your data throughput when 4x is enabled on both the wireless client and either the DWL-900AP+ (wireless Access Point) or the DI-614+ (wireless Router.)
