Network Name (SSID)
SSID stands for Service Set Identier, which is a string used to identify a wireless
LAN. Use the SSID to connect with a known access point. You can enter a new SSID or
select one from the drop-down list box. If you get connected by designating the SSID,
you are only to connect the AP with the SSID you assigned. If the AP is removed
from the network, your Network adapter does not roam automatically to other APs.
SSIDs must all be printable characters and having a maximum of 32 case sensitive
characters, such as “ Wireless”.
Channel
The Channel eld is for setting radio channel. Your Network adapter can automatically
select the correct channel to communicate with a wireless device, and the parameter is
xed to "Auto" in both Infrastructure and Ad Hoc mode.
The available radio channels depend on the regulations in your country. For the
United States (FCC) and Canada (IC), channel 1 to 11 are supported. For Europe
(ETSI), channel 1 to 13 are supported. For Japan (MKK), channel 1 to 14 are
supported.

PS Mode
Constantly Awake Mode (CAM), also known as Disable Power Saving Mode, is a
full powered state that yields the best performance. We recommend this mode for
devices running on AC power.
Power Saving Polling Mode (PSP Mode), which is also known as Enable Power
Saving mode, periodically wakes up the system to check if there is any data being
sent. We recommend this mode for devices running on battery power.

Cong - Encryption
This page enables you to congure the Wireless LAN
Adapter encryption settings. For data condentiality
in a wireless environment, IEEE 802.11 specifies a
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm to offer
transmission privacy. The WEP uses keys to encrypt
and decrypt data packets. The encryption process
can scramble frame bits to avoid disclosure to others.
The WPA/WPA2 is improved security system for
802.11 which are developed to overcome the weakness of the WEP protocol.
Network Authentication
Since there is no precise bound in wireless LANs, the WLAN users need to
implement certain mechanism to provide security solution. The Authentication
policies in this tab provide protection of different levels such as Open, Shared,
WPA-PSK, WPA, WPA2 and WPA2-PSK.
• Open:
Select this option to make the network operate on Open System mode,
which use no authentication algorithm. Open stations and APs can authenticate
with each other without checking any WEP Key, even if there is.
