[. . . ] 2 Profile Management Click the Profile Management tab of the TWCU and the next screen will appear (shown in Figure 3-2). The Profile Management screen provides tools to: Add a new profile Modify a profile Remove a profile Activate a Profile Import a Profile Export a Profile Scan Available Networks Order profiles Figure 3-2 3. Add or Modify a Configuration Profile To add a new configuration profile, click New on the Profile Management tab. To modify a configuration profile, select the configuration profile from the Profile list and click Modify. Off - Turns power saving off, thus powering up the Wireless PCI Adapter continuously for a short message response time. infrastructure - All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router. Ad-Hoc - Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer communication, using wireless network adapters on each computer, such as two or more TL-WN951N wireless adapters. € • Network Type: There are basically two modes of networking: • • Note: 1) 2) An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or wireless router. All the wireless devices or clients will connect to the wireless router or access point. An Ad-Hoc network contains only clients, such as laptops with wireless desktop adapters. The Wireless adapter must match the wireless mode of the access point with which it associates. This mode also allows the selection of the channel that the Wireless Adapter uses. If the adapter finds no other ad hoc adapters, the channel that the adapter starts the ad hoc network with will be selected automatically. The Adapter must match the wireless mode and channel of the clients it associates. 11 Authentication Mode: Select which mode the Adapter uses to authenticate to an access point: • • Automatic causes the adapter to attempt authentication using shared, but switches it to open authentication if shared fails. open System enables an adapter to attempt authentication regardless of its WEP settings. It will only associate with the access point if the WEP keys on both the adapter and the access point match. Shared-key only allows the adapter to associate with access points that have the same WEP key. € For infrastructure (access point) networks, click Preferred APs… to specify four access points at most to the client adapter that attempts to be associated to the access points. The four access points have different priorities; the frontal has the higher priority. From the Profile Management screen (shown in Figure 3-2), highlight the profile to export. Click Export…, the Export Profile window will then appear below. [. . . ] To an unintended receiver, DSSS appears as low power wideband noise and is rejected (ignored) by most narrowband receivers. Another wireless LAN endpoint), the DSSS signal is recognized as the only valid signal, and interference is inherently rejected (ignored). FHSS - (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) - FHSS continuously changes (hops) the carrier frequency of a conventional carrier several times per second according to a pseudo-random set of channels. Because a fixed frequency is not used, and only the transmitter and receiver know the hop patterns, interception of FHSS is extremely difficult. [. . . ]
