work name. Capital and lower case writing must be observed. As a
maximum, the network name may consist of 32 alphanumerical
characters.
• Country
For the operation of the access point, country-specific regulations
referring to the selectable channels have to be observed. Specify the
country or region where the device is to be operated.
• Channel
Select a channel from the list of the available channels. Clients log on
to the channel of the access point if they support this channel accord-
ing to their country-specific settings. The factory-set value is channel
6. If you wish to use channels 12 and 13, please make sure beforehand
that the corresponding clients do support these channels and that the
correct regulatory domain has been selected. Products which may
also be operated in the U.S.A. (e.g. our USB adapter), may not sup-
port channels 12 and 13, since only channels 1 to 11 are permitted
there.
Note:
The number of selectable channels is not identical in all devices.
Mostly, channels 1 to 11 are available. For further information, please
refer to the documentation of your product.
• Transmission Rate
The transmission rate should be adapted to your wireless network. As
a rule, the setting Best (automatic) is sufficient. Under certain circum-
stances, however, it is necessary to change this setting.
If you make changes here, please observe: The range of a wireless net-
work decreases with higher data rates and increases with lower data
rates.
• Best (automatic)
Automatic fallback according to the quality of the connection,
starting with 11 or 54 Mbps. This is the recommended setting.
• Fixed x Mbps
Sets a fixed data rate. Fixed 1 Mbps can be used to optimize the
range for lower data rates. Fixed 11 Mbps can be used to optimize
the throughput for lower ranges. Fixed 11 Mbps makes sense only
if all wireless clients are operated at a short distance and reach opti-
mum connection quality.

Here, you can make settings regarding the technology ComPoint But-
terfly is supposed to use.
