Chapter 5 - Configuring WiFi Parameters
Network Name (SSID) – The Service Set ID (SSID) that identifies the Wi-Fi

network. The SSID is case sensitive and can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric
characters. (Default: WiMAXCPE)
Radio Channel – The radio channel used by the unit and its clients to

communicate with each other. This channel must be the same on the unit and
all of its wireless clients. The available channel settings are limited by local
regulations. (Default: 1; Range: 1-14, Auto; Default for EU P/N: Auto).
NOTE
If you experience poor performance, you may be encountering interference from another wireless
device. Try changing the channel, as this may eliminate interference and increase performance.
Working mode - The 802.1x authentication is an addition to the WLAN

security methods. It provides a method to protect the network behind the
access point from intruders as well as provide dynamic keys and strengthen
WLAN encryption. (Range: 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11b/g, Default:802.11b/g)
Transmit Power – The power of the radio signals transmitted from the unit.

The higher the transmission power, the farther the transmission range. Only
Full power is available.
RTS Threshold – Sets the packet size threshold at which a Request to Send

(RTS) signal must be sent to a receiving station prior to sending the data
frame. The unit sends RTS frames to a receiving station to negotiate the
sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS frame, the station sends a CTS
(clear to send) frame to notify the unit that it can start sending data. If a
packet size equals or exceeds the RTS threshold, the RTS/CTS (Request to
Send/Clear to Send) mechanism will be enabled. Units contending for the
medium may not be aware of each other, and the RTS/CTS mechanism can
solve this "Hidden Node Problem." (Range: 256-2432 bytes: Default: 2432
bytes).
CTS Protect Mode – When 802.11g and 802.11b clients operate together in

the same Wi-Fi network, there needs to be a mechanism that prevents
802.11b clients from interfering with 802.11g transmissions. This is achieved
by sending 802.11b-compatible CTS (Clear to Send) or RTS/CTS (Request to
Send / Clear to Send) frames before each transmission. This mechanism
