DESCRIPTION
Select this option to turn off the wireless LAN.
Select Multi SSID in this field.
Select 802.11b/g to allow both IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the NWA. The transmission rate of your NWA might be
reduced.
Select 802.11b/g/n to allow IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11n
compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NWA. The transmission rate of the NWA
might be reduced.
Select the operating frequency/channel depending on your particular region from the
drop-down list box.
This field displays only when you select 802.11 b/g/n in the 802.11 Wireless
Mode field.
A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps whereas a 40MHz
channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300Mbps. However,
not all devices support 40MHz channels.
Select the channel bandwidth you want to use for your wireless network.
It is recommended that you select 20/40 (20/40 MHz). This allows the NWA to
adjust the channel bandwidth depending on network conditions.
Select 20 MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in
your neighborhood.
An SSID profile is the set of parameters relating to one of the NWA's BSSs. The SSID
(Service Set IDentifier) identifies the Service Set with which a wireless station is
associated. Wireless stations associating with the access point (AP) must have the
same SSID.
If you are configuring the NWA from a computer connected to the wireless LAN and
you change the NWA's SSID 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 NWA's new settings.
Select the check box to activate an SSID profile.
Select the check box to enable the bridge connection. Otherwise, clear the check box
to disable it. The first profile is always active.
Select the profile(s) of the SSIDs you want to use in your wireless network. You can
have up to four BSSs running on the NWA simultaneously.
Configure SSID profiles in the Multi SSID screen.
This displays whether traffic from this SSID is tagged with the VLAN ID.
This field is configurable only when you enable 802.1Q VLAN tagging in the System >
General screen.
Select the check box to enable VLAN tagging for this SSID.
This displays the VLAN ID associated with the SSID.
This field is configurable only when you enable 802.1Q VLAN tagging in the System >
General screen and select the Tag check box in this screen.
Enter a VLAN ID number from 1 to 4094. Packets coming from the WLAN using this
SSID profile are tagged with the VLAN ID number by the NWA. Different BSSID
profiles can use the same or different VLAN IDs. This allows you to split wireless
stations into groups using similar VLAN IDs.
