DESCRIPTION
The ESSID (Extended Service Set IDentity) identifies the Service Set with which a
wireless station is associated. Wireless stations associating to the access point (AP)
must have the same ESSID. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII
characters) for the wireless LAN.
Note: If you are configuring the G-1000 from a computer connected
to the wireless LAN and you change the G-1000's ESSID or WEP
settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you press
Apply to confirm. You must then change the wireless settings of your
computer to match the G-1000's new settings.
Select this check box to hide the ESSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station
cannot obtain the ESSID through scanning using a site survey tool.
Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your particular region.
To manually set the G-1000 to use a channel, select a channel from the drop-down
list box. Click MAINTENANCE and then the Channel Usage tab to open the
Channel Usage screen to make sure the channel is not already used by another AP
or independent peer-to-peer wireless network.
Refer to the Wizard Setup
(Request To Send) The threshold (number of bytes) for enabling RTS/CTS
handshake. Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/CTS
handshake. Setting this attribute to be larger than the maximum MSDU (MAC
service data unit) size turns off the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to
zero turns on the RTS/CTS handshake. Enter a value between 0 and 2432.
