The next step you can make is to assign a name in the Description 
(optional)
 field as a description for the network you are currently setting up. 
This is very useful, to distinguish between several different networks. You 
must then select the type of connection in the Network type field. If you want 
to connect to an access point, you must select Access point (infrastructure 
mode)
. If you want to connect to another system, e.g. a PC, you must 
select Peer-to-peer (ad hoc mode). If you select Peer-to-peer, in the next field 
you must select the same wireless channel as is set on the other WLAN 
component. Only channels 1 through 13 are possible. 
Before you can now make a connection, you must select an association 
mode in the Association mode field. The association options available 
depend on the hardware of your access point or your WLAN component.

Inform yourself about the configuration of the WLAN 
components to which you want to make a connection and then 
make the following settings in the Odyssey client accordingly. 
 
You can chose one of three association modes: OpenShared or WPA
After selecting the association mode, you must specify a suitable 
encryption method in the Encryption method field. 
The encryption selection also depends on the conditions of your access 
point or your WLAN component. Your selection options differ in 
accordance with the selected association mode. 
You have the following options: noneWEPTKIP or AES
With certain combinations, you have to input a key in the last section of the 
configuration window. You can get this information from the operating 
instructions of the remote station or from the configuration status. If you 
have to input a WEP key, you must also note the Format for entering keys 
selection field. With this type of encryption the system also distinguishes 
according to the key format. You can select either ASCII characters or 
hexadecimal digits

Connection setup can only be completed successfully if the 
components to be connected are set identically.

For security reasons, we recommend that you set encryption 
for your wireless networks.
