P-661HW-D Series Support Notes
coverage in metropolitan areas and along traffic corridors. WWANs are owned
by a service provider or carrier. Data rates are low and charges are based on
usage. Specialized applications are characteristically designed around short,
burst messaging.
14. Can I manually swap the wireless module without damage any
hardware?
Yes, it will not harm the hardware, but the module will not be detected and
work after inserting to the slot. You need to reboot the router to initialize the
module.
15. What wireless security mode does P-661HW-D support?
The wireless security modes supported on P-661HW-D are:
Static WEP,
WPA-PSK, WPA, WPA2-PSK, and WPA2.
16. What Wireless standard does P-661HW-D support?
It supports IEEE 802.11b/g/g+ standard.
17. Does P-661HW-D support MAC filtering?
Yes, it supports up to 32 MAC Address filtering.
18. Does P-661HW-D support auto rate adaption?
Yes, it means that the AP on P-661HW-D will automatically decelerate when
devices move beyond the optimal range, or other interference is present. If the
device moves back within the range of a higher-speed transmission, the
connection will automatically speed up again. Rate shifting is a physical-layer
mechanism transparent to the user and the upper layers of the protocol stack.
Advanced FAQ
1. What is Ad Hoc mode?
A wireless network consists of a number of stations without using an access
point or any connection to a wired network.
2. What is Infrastructure mode?
Infrastructure mode implies connectivity to a wired communications
infrastructure. If such connectivity is required the Access Points must be used
to connect to the wired LAN backbone. Wireless clients have their
configurations set for "infrastructure mode" in order to utilise access points
relaying.
3. How many Access Points are required in a given area?
This depends on the surrounding terrain, the diameter of the client population,
