To communicate in "802.11 Ad-hoc" or "Ad hoc" mode, all Wireless 
stations MUST use the same Channel number.  

• 

If using "802.11 Ad-hoc" or "Ad-hoc" mode, s elect the value you 
wish to use on your Wireless LAN. 

• 

If using "Infrastructure" mode, the Channel is selected 
automatically, to match the Channel used by the Access Point. 

• 

If you experience interference (shown by lost connections and/or 
slow data transfers ) you may need to experiment with different 
channels to see which is the best. 

Select the correct value for your Wireless LAN. 

• 

802.11 Ad-hoc mode is used when there is no Wireless Access 
Point, and each Wireless station communicates directly with other 
Wireless stations. This is the current standard. 

• 

Ad-hoc mode is used when there is no Wireless Access Point, and 
each Wireless station communicates directly with other Wireless 
stations. This is the older standard. 

• 

Infrastructure mode is used when each Wireless station connects 
to the Wireless Access point. This also provides access to the 
wired LAN. 

If Disabled (default), data is NOT encrypted before being transmitted. 

If Enabled, you must provide either the 64 Bit key table or the 128 Bit 
keys, as described below. The key is used to encrypt the data before 
transmission. 

• 

If selected, data is encrypted, using the default key, before being 
transmitted. The receiving station must be set to 64 Bit 
Encryption, and have the same Key value in the same position in 
its key table. Otherwise, it will not be able to decrypt the data. 

• 

Default Key - select the key you wish to be the default. 
Transmitted data is ALWAYS encrypted using the Default Key; 
the other Keys are  for decryption only. 

Key Table:  

This table is used when Encrypting and Decrypting data. All stations, 
including this Access Point, always transmit data encrypted using their 
default key. The key number (1, 2, 3, 4) is also transmitted. The 
receiving station will use the key number (1, 2, 3, 4) to determine 
which key value to use for decryption. If the key value does not match 
the transmitting station, decryption will fail.  

The easiest way to ensure there are no problems is to have every 
Station, including the Access Point, use the same key table (all entries 
identical). Then, it does not matter which key is used as the default 
key. 

If selected, data is encrypted using the key before being transmitted. 
The receiving station must be set to use 128 Bit Encryption, and have 
the same Key value. Otherwise, it will not be able to decrypt the data.  

Options are "Open System" or "Shared Key". 

Some Wireless cards and Access Points do not support both methods. 
Check your documentation to determine the correct value to use.
