Use the ESSID field to set the 802.11 Extended Service Set Identifier. The
ESSID is a 32-character string (maximum) address identifying the wireless
LAN. The ESSID assigned to the terminal is required to match the AP ESSID
for the two devices to associate.
Use the RTS Threshold drop-down list to select the data transmission size at
which the terminal alerts the AP with a Request To Send (RTS) signal prior
to transmission. Once the terminal receives a Clear To Send (CTS) signal
from the AP, the terminal transmits the data packet. Establishing an RTS
threshold in advance of sending large volumes of data helps ensure data
transmission with little interference.
Check the International Roaming check box to enable the terminal to
associate with APs with different country codes.
Use the Preferred BSS field to enter the IEEE MAC address of the AP where
the terminal prefers to associate. The terminal assigns a higher priority to this
AP when transmitting over the network.
