3e-525A Wireless Access Point
On the Wireless Configuration — General page, you must enter the
SSID for the wireless LAN. This is also where you can assign a channel
number to the AP (if necessary) and modify the Tx Pwr Mode. There are
some advanced options which are detailed in the chart below.
The SSID can be any set of letters and numbers assigned by the net-
work administrator. This nomenclature has to be set on the gateway and
each wireless device in order for them to communicate.
The Channel Number is a means of assigning frequencies to access
points, when many are used in the same WLAN, to minimize interfer-
ence. There are 11 channel numbers that may be assigned.
Tx Pwr Mode and Fixed Pwr Level: The Tx Power Mode defaults
to Auto, giving the largest range of radio transmission available under
ambient conditions. As an option, the AP's broadcast range can be limited
by setting the Tx Power Mode to Fixed and choosing from 1-8 for Fixed
Pwr Level (1 being the shortest distance.) Finally, if you want to prevent
any radio frequency transmission from the gateway, set Tx Pwr Mode to
Off. This will not turn off RF transmission from any associated wireless
devices, but they will not be able to communicate with the Gateway when
the TX power mode is off.
