DESCRIPTION
The SSID identifies the service set to which a wireless station is associated.
Wireless stations associating to the access point (the ZyXEL G-220 v2) must have
the same SSID.
Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII characters) for the
wireless LAN.
Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station
cannot obtain the SSID through passive scanning using a site survey tool.
Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your geographical region.
Set this field if you need to conserve power consumption (especially for notebook
computers). This control changes the strength of the ZyXEL G-220 v2's antenna
gain or transmission power. Antenna gain, measured in dBm (decibel relative units
compared to milliwatts), is the increase in coverage. Higher antenna gain improves
the range of the signal for better communications.
Select High to set the ZyXEL G-220 v2's antenna to transmit at 17-dBm.
Select Medium-High to set the ZyXEL G-220 v2's antenna to transmit at 15-dBm.
Select Medium-Low to set the ZyXEL G-220 v2's antenna to transmit at 13-dBm.
Select Low to set the ZyXEL G-220 v2's antenna to transmit at 11-dBm. This
allows for the least power consumption.
This field is only applicable in Windows XP.
Select the check box and an Ethernet adapter (network interface card (NIC)) on
your computer from the drop-down list box. This allows you to connect your
wireless network to the specified wired network.
