Parameter Description
Profile Name
Define a recognizable profile name for you to identify the different
networks.
Network Name (SSID)
The SSID (up to 32 printable ASCII characters) is the unique
name identified in a WLAN. The ID prevents the unintentional
merging of two co-located WLANs.
You may specify a SSID for the adapter and then only the device
with the same SSID can interconnect to the adapter.
This is a computer-to-computer
(ad hoc) network; wireless access
points are not used.
There are two kinds of network type described as follows.
Infrastructure
– This operation mode requires the presence of an
802.11 Access Point. All communication is done via the Access
Point or Router.
Ad Hoc
– Connect to another wireless adapter in the Wireless
LAN network without through an Access Point or Router.
If this item is selected, the adapter will work in Ad Hoc mode.
