●For the WLAN ESS ID, input the values of ESSID set in:
Ad hoc mode: PC of other party
Infrastructure: Access point
●When setting WLAN AD HOC MODE, the network mode setting of the wireless LAN
card on the PC side must be set to 802.11 Adhoc.
●WLAN CH is the wireless frequency band used for 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.
Frequency bands (ISM bands) and channels (IEEE803.11b standard)
N. America : FCC / 2.412~2.462GHz (11 channels)
Europe : CE ETSI / 2.412~2.472GHz (13 channels)
Japan : 2.412~2.4835GHz (14 channels)
France : 2.457~2.472GHz (4 channels)
Spain : 2.457~2.462GHz (2 channels)
14 channels of the 2.4GHz band used by the wireless LAN.
Since adjacent channels causes signal interference, channels
are normally spaced 5 channels apart.
