Network SSID
The SSID is a unique ID given to the Access Point. Wireless clients associating to Access Points must
have the same SSID. The default value Auto Detect will cause the CompactWLAN to associate
with any Access Point that gives the fastest response. You may also specify and SSID (Access Point)
with which you desire to connect. Specifying an SSID for your CompactWLAN is recommended
because it will prevent you PDA from unintentionally connecting to a different wireless network. The
SSID can be set up to 32 characters and is case sensitive.
Link Rate
The CompactWLAN provides various data rate options for you to select. Data rate options
include Auto, 1, 2, 1 or 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps. In most networking scenarios, the default Fully
Auto setting will prove to be the most efficient. This setting will allow your CompactWLAN to
operate at the maximum possible data rate under any condition. When the signal strength drops
below a certain level, the CompactWLAN will automatically switch to a lower data rate. When the
signal strength improves, the CompactWLAN will automatically readjust the data rate until it has
reached the optimal speed. Linking at a lower data rate trades off speed for connection reliability.
Packet Fragmentation
Packet sizes larger than the specified value will be split into fragments before transmission.
Power Management
When Power Management is enabled, the CompactWLAN will go into Power Management mode to
minimize power consumption.
(NOTE: When Power Management is enabled, the Access Point must also support Power
Management for the link to be maintained.)
RTS/CTS Medium Access
Turn on only if your Access Point supports RTS/CTS Medium Access.
