DESCRIPTION
The SSID identifies the Service Set to which a wireless station is associated.
Wireless stations associating to the access point (the ZyAIR) must have the same
SSID.
Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII characters) for the
wireless LAN.
Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station
cannot obtain the SSID through passive scanning using a site survey tool.
Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your geographical region.
Set this field if you need to conserve power consumption (especially for notebook
computers). This control changes the strength of the ZyAIR's antenna gain or
transmission power. Antenna gain, measured in dBm (decibel relative units
compared to milliwatts), is the increase in coverage. Higher antenna gain improves
the range of the signal for better communications.
Select High to set the ZyAIR's antenna to transmit at 17-dBm.
Select Medium-High to set the ZyAIR's antenna to transmit at 15-dBm.
Select Medium-Low to set the ZyAIR's antenna to transmit at 13-dBm.
Select Low to set the ZyAIR's antenna to transmit at 11-dBm. This allows for the
least power consumption.
Select 64 Bits, 128 Bits or 256 Bits to activate WEP encryption and then fill in the
related fields.
Select Disable to deactivate the WEP encryption.
Select an authentication method. Choices are Auto, Shared Key and Open
System. Refer to Section 2.3 on page 29
