Using the Mobile Companion Utility
Spectrum24 Wireless LAN Adapter Users Guide A - 7
Use the Operating Mode pull-down menu to select one of the following
operational modes for the adapter:
• Select Infrastructure to enable the adapter to transmit and receive data
with an access point. Infrastructure is the adapter default mode when
Mobile Companion initially displays.
• Select Ad Hoc to enable the adapter to form its own local network where
adapters communicate peer-to-peer without APs using a shared ESSID.
When Ad Hoc is selected, the Long Preamble checkbox appears. Each
adapter within the Ad Hoc network is required to use the same preamble
length and ESSID to interoperate. Use the Channel number field to
select the channel used within the peer-to-peer network.
Use the Country pull-down menu to select the country of operation for the
adapter. This feature ensures the adapter is using country code information
compatible with the country code data used by the associated access point.
Select International to enable International Roaming support for the
adapter. International Roaming allows the adapter to roam and associate to
access points with differing country codes. Click OK to save the changes.
