1. Check BSSID. When there is a link, the current Basic Service
Set ID of the Access Point been used will be shown in the BSSID
field in Link Page. When the adapter is disconnected with the
Access Point, “Non-associated” will appear in the BSSID field.
To view BSSID, from your Toshiba Pocket PC e750/e755, click
StartJSettingsJJSystemJWireless LAN UtilityJLink.
2. Check Link Quality. Link Quality shows how clearly the adapter
can hear the Access Point. If the quality is poor, it’s better to
rescan and find a better performance Access Point or re-arrange
the AP’s position for better performance. To view Link Quality,
from your Toshiba Pocket PC e750/e755, click
StartJSettingsJSystemJWireless LAN UtilityJConfig.
B4: What is 802.11 Ad Hoc Network? What should I do to form an 802.11
Ad Hoc Network?
802.11 Ad Hoc Mode is used to create a peer-to-peer connection
without an Access Point. The SSID must be the same among sta-
tions to enable the wireless communication within the local area
network.
You need to choose a proper SSID and channel for the first 802.11
Ad Hoc station. For other stations want to join the same SSID group,
you could only choose the same SSID as the first station for connec-
tion. The Channel setting for the 802.11 Ad Hoc Network stations to
join the existing 802.11 Ad Hoc Network will automatically be set as
the channel number of the network.
