DESCRIPTION
Wireless stations associating to the access point (AP) must have the same SSID.
Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable characters) for the wireless LAN.
Spaces are allowed.
Note: If you are configuring the device from a computer connected
to the wireless LAN and you change the device's SSID,
channel or security settings, you will lose your wireless
connection when you click Apply to save your settings. You
must then change the wireless settings of your computer to
match the device's new settings.
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.
The range of radio frequencies used by IEEE 802.11b/g wireless devices is called
a channel.
Select a wireless channel if interference from other nearby devices is a problem.
The NWA570N and wireless devices in your network must use the same channel.
Select 802.11b/g to allow IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the device.
Select 802.11n/g to allow IEEE 802.11n and IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the device.
Select HT protect if you have devices on your wireless network that support IEEE
802.1b/g standards but not the IEEE 802.1n draft 2.0 standard.
If all devices on your wireless network support IEEE 802.1n draft 2.0, deselect HT
protect for higher data transmission rates.
This is the MAC address of the device.
Type the MAC address of the peer device in a valid MAC address format, that is,
six hexadecimal character pairs, for example, 12:34:56:78:9a:bc.
Set the number of milliseconds that should pass between the sending out of
beacons.
Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless stations in the same BSS.
Enable Intra-BSS traffic to allow wireless stations connected to the device to
communicate with each other.
Disable Intra-BSS traffic to only allow wireless stations to communicate with the
wired network, not with each other.
Set the interval for wireless clients in sleep mode to wake up and check for
multicast or broadcast traffic.
The AP includes a Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) in the beacon to
notify wireless clients in sleep mode that there is a multicast or broadcast packet
awaiting delivery. The interval is a multiple of the beacon interval. For example, if
the beacon interval is 100 milliseconds and the DTIM interval is 2, the AP includes
a DTIM with every second beacon (or every 200 milliseconds).
Use this field to set a maximum number of wireless stations that may connect to
the device.
Enter the number (from 1 to 32) of wireless stations allowed.
