Chapter 5 Advanced Configuration
Overview
Go to the “Specifying a Home Network Configuration” section on page 5-16 for instructions on
activating a home network configuration.
Note If the Network Type parameter is set to Base Station, the 1, 2,
5.5, and 11 Mbps options cannot be selected.
Note If the Network Type parameter is set to No Base Station, your
client adapter’s data rate must match the data rate of the other
devices on the home network. Otherwise, your client adapter
might not be able to associate to them.
Network Type Specifies the type of network in which your client adapter is installed.
Default: Base Station
Network Type Description
No Base Station
(Ad Hoc)
Also referred to as peer to peer. Used to
set up a small network between two or
more devices. For example, a network
without a base station could be set up
between computers in a room so that
information can be shared.
Base Station
(Infrastructure)
Used to set up a connection to a wired
Ethernet network (through a base station).
Channel Specifies which frequency your client adapter uses as the channel for
communications. These channels conform to the IEEE 802.11 standard
for your regulatory domain.
• If your home network uses a base station, this parameter or is
disabled because it is set automatically and cannot be changed. The
client adapter uses the same frequency as the base station.
• If your home network does not use a base station, the channel of
the client adapter must be set to match the channel used by the
other clients with which you wish to communicate.
Range: Dependent on regulatory domain
Example: 1 to 11 (2412 to 2462 MHz) in North America.
Default: Dependent on regulatory domain
Example: 6 (2437 MHz) in North America.
Note See Appendix B, “Channels, Power Levels, and Antenna
Gains,” for a list of channel identifiers, channel center
frequencies, and regulatory domains for each channel.
