Netmask is a 32-bit value that defines the number of bits of the IP

address to use for identifying the network.

1Mbps.

Channel (wireless LAN)

Frequency range used by wireless LAN.

The same frequency must be set by two sides for proper communication.

If there is an access point, adapter

, etc., using the same band in the proximity

, there may be a hindrance in the communication

and

may reduce throughput or the quality of communication. When setting, check the settings of surrounding access points, etc., to

avoid

doubling.

ESS-ID (wireless LAN)

The name is used to distinguish other wireless LAN devices.

Ad hoc mode (wireless LAN)

, there is the risk of in

for-

mation leakage.

40blt

WEP:

Encryption is performed using 40-blt encryption key

.

128blt:

Encryption is performed using 104-blt + 24-blt (1V) keys.

Although throughput will decline compared to Open

System, security of data will be improved.

Access point (wireless LAN)
