Configuration

Using the Configuration Utility

Wireless Mode:

Infrastructure is the factory default setting. Ad-Hoc mode is used for peer-

to-peer networking. See the Getting Started section in this manual for ex-

amples of these network types.

SSID:

The Service Set Identifier is the name assigned to the wireless network. The

factory SSID setting is set to default. Make changes here to match the SSID

on the existing Wireless Router or Access Point.

Tx Rate:

You can adjust the transmission rate to get the best signal possible depend-

ing on your usage and your environment. The Tx Rate will be determined

automatically by signal strength. Default is set to Auto.

Power Mode:

Select from three modes:

Continuous Access Mode - this default setting consumes the most power

Maximum Power Save - this setting consumes the least power

Power Save - this setting consumes a moderate amount of power

Click Apply to save changes.

Preamble:

Select Long or Short Preamble. The Preamble defines the length of the

CRC block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a common technique for detecting

data transmission errors) for communication between the Access Point and

the roaming wireless Network adapters. Long Preamble is the default setting.

High network traffic areas should use the Short Preamble.

Channel:

The default channel setting is channel 6. In Infrastructure mode, the

DWL-120+ will automatically select the channel to match the channel setting

for the selected Access Point. In Ad Hoc mode, the channel must be manually

set to the same channel for each wireless adapter.
