Using the Configuration Management System

Manually Selecting
Radio Channels
On the Advanced Wireless Network page, you can manually select the 
radio channels and radio modes. The Ethernet Adapter only looks for a 
best SSID that matches the specified radio mode on the specified 
channels.
Setting Up an Ad-Hoc
Network
Operating in ad-hoc mode, two or more Ethernet Adapters can associate 
among themselves to form an ad-hoc network without the intervention 
of an access point. You may wish to set up an ad-hoc network, for 
example, if a group is working away from the office, or if a group in the 
office needs to share files apart from the wired LAN.
CAUTION: To ensure correct operation, the settings on the two Ethernet 
Adapters must match exactly. To avoid the possibility of losing wireless 
association while you are configuring, Enterasys Networks recommends 
that you connect the Ethernet Adapter directly to the computer.
VORSICHT: Um einen fehlerfreien Betrieb zu gewährleisten, müssen die 
Einstellungen auf den beiden Ethernet-Adaptern genau übereinstimmen. 
Es wird empfohlen, den Ethernet-Adapter direkt mit dem Computer zu 
verbinden, um während der Konfiguration die drahtlose Verbindung 
nicht zu verlieren.
Setting
Description
Antenna Selection
Select an antenna for the radio signal:
Internal—this default setting should be used in most 
circumstances.
External and one internal antenna—this setting 
automatically determines which antenna is best for sending 
packets to individually attached clients. Choose this setting 
if the Ethernet Adapter is located in a place that is 
surrounded or hindered by metal paths or walls.
Data Preamble
To increase performance, click Short (Enhanced performance). 
When equipment that does not support short preamble is also 
being used, click Long (Wi-Fi Interoperable).
Note: The Data Preamble option is available in ad-hoc mode 
only. However, the Short Data Preamble option is not available 
for 802.11a and 802.11a Turbo modes in ad-hoc mode.
