• Constant Awake Mode (CAM)

Name
The station name is displayed in the table of connected
devices on the Access Point. It provides a logical name
to determine which machines are connected without
having to memorize every MAC address. The name
can be up to 16 characters.
SSID
The Service Set Identifier (SSID) controls access to a
given wireless network. This value MUST match the
SSID of any/all Access Points that you want to commu-
nicate with. If the value does not match, access to the
system is not granted. The SSID can be up to 32 char-
acters (case sensitive).
Network type (Infrastructure Mode)
This mode is used to set up a connection to a wired
network, such as Ethernet or Token Ring. This mode
requires an Access Point to gain access to the wired
network.
