    Option Description
    F2 Network Name (SSID) Enter the name of the wireless network.
    F3 Infrastructure Mode Select Ad Hoc to connect the analyzer to the computer directly through a peer-to-peer wireless connection through each device's wireless adapter. Select Infrastructure (Standard) to connect to the computer through a standard network with a wireless router or access point.
