DESCRIPTION
The ESSID (Extended Service Set IDentity) identifies the AP to which the wireless stations
associate. Wireless stations associating to the AP must have the same ESSID. Enter a
descriptive name of up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII characters.
This field is only available when you select Access Point or AP + Bridge in the Operating
Mode field.
Press [SPACE BAR] and select Yes to hide ESSID in the outgoing data frame so an
intruder cannot obtain the ESSID through passive scanning.
Press [SPACE BAR] to select a channel. This allows you to set the operating frequency/
channel depending on your particular region.
Setting this attribute to zero turns on the RTS/CTS handshake. Enter a value between 0
and 2432.
This is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter a value between 256 and
2432.
Select Disable to allow wireless stations to communicate with the access points without
any data encryption.
Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to enable data encryption.
Enter the key number (1 to 4) in this field. Only one key can be enabled at any one time.
This key must be the same on the G-1000 v2 and the wireless stations to communicate.
The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the G-1000 v2 and the wireless stations
must use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you chose 64-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter any 5 ASCII characters
or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F").
If you chose 128-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter 13 ASCII characters or
26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F").
Note: Enter "0x" before the key to denote a hexadecimal key. Don't enter
"0x" before the key to denote an ASCII key.
Press [SPACE BAR] to select Auto, Open System Only or Shared Key Only and press
[ENTER].
This field is N/A if WEP is not activated.
If WEP encryption is activated, the default setting is Auto.

Select Yes to enable the Breathing LED, also known as the G-1000 v2 LED.
The blue G-1000 v2 LED is on when the G-1000 v2 is on and blinks (or breaths) when data
is being transmitted to/from its wireless stations. Clear the check box to turn this LED off
even when the G-1000 v2 is on and data is being transmitted/received.
Select a preamble type from the drop-down list menu. Choices are Long, Short and
Dynamic. The default setting is Long.
See the section on preamble for more information.
