NETWAVE AIRSURFER NETWORKS
Netwave’s AirSurfer PRO PC Card provides standalone wireless networking
or, with the addition of a Netwave Access Point, access to existing wired
networks. The wired network can be a peer-to-peer network OS such as
Microsoft Windows 95 or server-based running software such as Microsoft
Windows NT. Wireless access to and interaction with these networks is
managed through a network identifier called an SSID. The Netwave
Installation Program will use the default SSID value of “Default SSID”
under the “Install” option or allow you to modify the SSID settings under
the “Custom” option. Every LAN accessible by the AirSurfer PRO PC Card
is identified by an SSID string. SSIDs allow for the deployment of multiple
independent wireless LANs in the same shared location.
Network users can change SSID numbers in the Netwave Installation
Program. Access Point SSIDs can be changed by the Network Administrator
using utilities supplied with the Access Point.
Individual network users can indicate which of the available SSIDs or
networks they want to access from their workstation by including the SSID
keyword in their network configuration file along with the SSID number of
the network they wish to access.
