LABEL
ESSID (Extended Service Set IDentity) The ESSID is a unique name to identify the Prestige in the
wireless LAN. Wireless clients associating to an Access Point (the Prestige) must have the same
ESSID. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII characters).
Hide ESSID Select Yes to hide the ESSID so a wireless client cannot obtain the ESSID through passive
scanning.
Select No to make the ESSID visible so a wireless client can obtain the ESSID through passive
scanning.
Channel ID The range of radio frequencies used by IEEE 802.11b wireless devices is called a channel. Set
the operating frequency/channel depending on your particular region.
Select a channel from the drop-down list box. Adjacent APs with overlapping coverage areas
should use different channels to reduce crosstalk. Crosstalk occurs when the radio signals from
access points overlap and interfere with one another degrading performance.
