Lan Port - Buffalo AirStation WBR-G54 Owner's Manual

11g(54M)-Turbo - Boosts 11g devices to
turbo 54Mbps mode.
11g(54M)-Only - 11g devices will be
able to communicate, but not 11b
devices.
ESS-ID - Allows administrator to alter the
ESS-ID of the AirStation. To communicate
with a specifi c AP only, the AP's ESS-ID
must be entered in the client PC. The
client PC looks for the specifi c AP (or
ESS-ID) for wireless communication. Use
up to 32 al pha nu mer ic characters for the
ESS-ID (case sensitive).
■ Note: Roaming - When multiple AirSta-
tions have an identical ESS-ID, WEP,
and DS channel, client PCs may Roam
between the AirStations.
Wireless Channel - Select the channel
used for wireless communication. There
are 11 overlapping channels. Channels 1,
6 and 11 are non-overlapping.
If there are multiple APs in close proxim-
ity using the same channel, there may be
interference. In this case, change to a
non-overlapping channel.
■ Note: This parameter is automatically
set in the client computer.
Encryption Key (WEP) - Select Encrypt
or Do not encrypt. Create and enter an
encryption code to protect wireless com-
mu ni ca tions. It is possible to enter up
to 4 different WEPs. The WEP key must
match between two parties for secure
com mu ni ca tions.
Examples of WEP key:
64bit ASCII: 5 digits of alphanumeric
characters, "ab34Y"
128bit ASCII: 13 digits of alphanumeric
characters, "123456abcdef7"
■ Note: ASCII WEP is case sensitive.
64bit HEX: 10 digits, using characters 0-9
and a-f, "00234ABCDE"
128bit HEX: 26 digits, using characters
0-9 and a-f, "20123456789abcdeabcde-
abcde"
BSS (Basic Service Set) Basic Rate Set
- The transmission data rate between
devices. If one device supports 2Mbps
only, the data rate for the entire network
should be limited to 2Mbps ("Default"
selection). Otherwise, use 11Mbps max
("All" selection).
DTIM Period - An access point transmits
beacon signals to nearby clients at a
preset interval. This parameter sets the
beacon transmission interval time (1-255
sec.). Se lec tion of a larger number may
conserve energy for the client PC (when
client power management is enabled), but
may delay wireless communication. The
default value of 1 is recommended.
ANY Connection - Enables a client PC
to connect to the nearest WBR-G54 by
entering the word "any" for the ESS-ID.
If the "ANY Connection" is not selected,
the WBR-G54 will not be found unless the
specifi c WBR-G54's ESS-ID is entered in
the client PC.

LAN Side IP address - Allows ad min is -
tra tor to specify a static IP and Subnet
Mask for the LAN side of the AirStation.
