Network Name
Network Name
, also known as SSID (
S
ervice
S
et
Id
entifier), must be unique to distinguish itself
as a particular wireless network, while all wireless points in this network area share the same
SSID. Type the identical SSID in the
Network Name
field to associate with access points or
stations within the specified wireless LAN. To change the
Network Name
, highlight the name in
the box, edit a new SSID, and then click
Apply
to save the changes.
Network Type
Two network types are offered here:
Access Point
and
Peer-to-Peer
. Choose the intended type
from the two options. The Access Point mode, which is also known as the Infrastructure mode,
allows you to communicate with a wired network via an access point. If you attempt to operate this
mode, you must indicate the identical
Network Name
to make a communication with the intended
access point. On the other hand, the
Peer-to-Peer
mode provides you with the so-called Ad-Hoc
communication, which means each wireless-equipped computers within a group is able to
connect with each other as an independent wireless LAN without the use of an access point. Each
station within this Ad-Hoc network has to define the same
Network Name
.
The Encryption Tab
Click the
Encryption
tab to define the encryption settings for a specific profile. It offers you various
options concerning the so-called WEP (
W
ired
E
quivalent
P
rivacy) to maintain the secure
management in a wireless LAN environment. See the explanations below for more details, and
before making an activation of any new settings, click
Apply
. To leave the window, click
OK
. To
undo the new settings, select the
Cancel
button.
Note: Choosing the WEP Encryption command from the right-click menu of WLAN-G Configuration Tool
tray icon will launch this tab too.
