Ad-hoc Mode

This is the simplest network configuration with several computers equipped with

the PC Cards that form a wireless network whenever they are within range of one

another. In ad-hoc mode, each client is peer-to-peer, would only have access to

the resources of the other client and does not require an access point. This is the

easiest and least expensive way for the SOHO to set up a wireless network.

h Profile: Enter a name for the profile; this does not need to be the same

as the SSID.

h SSID: Enter the SSID of the network or select one from the drop-down

list. The SSID is a unique name shared among all points in your wireless

network. The SSID must be identical for all points in the network, and is

case-sensitive.

h Network Type: Select Ad-hoc from the drop-down list.

h TX Power: Select a transmit power from the drop-down list. If your

notebook is connected to external power then select 100% or auto, if

not, select one of the lower values for power saving.

h Preamble: Select Auto from the drop-down list, unless you are aware of

the preamble type (long or short) used in each station.

h Ad-hoc wireless mode: Select a wireless mode from the drop-down list

depending on the type of stations used in the ad-hoc network. Select

B/G Mix if the network consists of 11b and 11g stations. Select B-only or

G-only if the network consists of only one type of wireless mode.

h RTS Threshold: Place a check in this box if you would like to enable

RTS Threshold. Any packet in the RTS/CTS handshake larger than the

specified value (bytes) will be discarded.
