DESCRIPTION
Select the operating mode from the drop-down list. The options are AP, Wireless
Client, Bridge and AP+Repeater.
Wireless stations associating to the access point (AP) must have the same SSID.
Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable characters) for the wireless LAN.
Spaces are allowed.
Note: If you are configuring the device from a computer connected
to the wireless LAN and you change the device's SSID,
channel or security settings, you will lose your wireless
connection when you press Apply to confirm. You must then
change the wireless settings of your computer to match the
device's new settings.
Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station
cannot obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.
Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your particular region.
Select a channel from the drop-down list box.
Refer to the chapter on wizard setup for more information about channels.
Select 802.11a only to allow only IEEE 802.11ba compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the device.
Select 802.11b only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the device.
Select 802.11g only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the device.
Select Auto (11g/11b) to allow either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant
WLAN devices to associate with the device. The transmission rate of your device
might be reduced.
Set the number of milliseconds that should pass between the sending out of
beacons.
Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless stations in the same BSS.
Enable Intra-BSS traffic to allow wireless stations connected to the device to
communicate with each other.
Disable Intra-BSS traffic to only allow wireless stations to communicate with the
wired network, not with each other.
Set the interval for wireless clients in sleep mode to wake up and check for
multicast or broadcast traffic.
The AP includes a Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) in the beacon to
notify wireless clients in sleep mode that there is a multicast or broadcast packet
awaiting delivery. The interval is a multiple of the beacon interval. For example, if
the beacon interval is 100 milliseconds and the DTIM interval is 2, the AP includes
a DTIM with every second beacon (or every 200 milliseconds).
Use this field to set a maximum number of wireless stations that may connect to
the device.
Enter the number (from 1 to 32) of wireless stations allowed.
