Wireless PC Card Note: You do not need to set the channel when using Access Point mode. The Network Name (also known as the SSID) is the unique name shared among all points in a wireless network. The Network Name must be identical for all points in the network. It is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters. In Access Point mode, you may instruct the adapter to select the first available Access Point by entering a Network Name of "ANY" (all upper case). You should not use a Network Name of "ANY" in Peer-to-Peer mode. The Transmit Rate field allows you to set the transmission rate for the PC card. To optimize performance and range, the Transmit Rate should be set to Fully Automatic, which will automatically adjust the transfer speed for best performance and longest range. Note: If you experience difficulty in transfering data between computers, you should try the following steps: • Reposition either or both computers or Access Point (if one is being used). • Keep in mind that closer is not necessarily better for devices of this type. If the devices are too close together, move them apart. • If you have a consistent problem with many or all wireless devices on your network, you should consider using a different wireless channel for your network operations. The Advanced screen allows you to set the Preamble Type, Fragmentation Threshold and RTS/CTS Threshold. 21 Wireless PC Card These settings are for very advanced users, and should not be adjusted without a thorough understanding of the 802.11b protocol. The Fragmentation Threshold field allows you to increase throughput by adjusting the number of bytes being transmitted/received. However, when signal strength is low, it is better to lower the fragmentation threshold for better throughput. The RTS/CTS Threshold field is another adjustment you can make to increase performance. The higher the threshold value the better the performance. However, you'll need to adjust to a lower setting when the signal strength is low. 22
