DESCRIPTION
The SSID identifies the wireless network to which a wireless station is associated.
Wireless stations associating with the access point (the AG-225H 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 so an intruder cannot obtain the SSID
through scanning using a site survey tool.
Set this field to allow wireless stations using different wireless modes to connect to
the AP (the AG-225H v2).
Select 802.11b + 802.11g (default) to allow wireless stations using both IEEE
802.11b and IEEE 802.11g modes to connect to the AP.
Select 802.11b to allow only wireless clients using IEEE 802.11b mode to connect
to the AP.
Select 802.11g to allow only wireless clients using IEEE 802.11g mode to connect
to the AP.
Select 802.11a to allow only wireless clients using IEEE 802.11a mode to connect
to the AP.
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 AG-225H 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 AG-225H v2's antenna to transmit at 17-dBm.
Select Medium-High to set the AG-225H v2's antenna to transmit at 15-dBm.
Select Medium-Low to set the AG-225H v2's antenna to transmit at 13-dBm.
Select Low to set the AG-225H v2's antenna to transmit at 11-dBm. This allows for
the least power consumption.
Select 64 Bits, 128 Bits or 256 Bits to activate WEP encryption and then fill in the
related fields.
Select Disable to deactivate the WEP encryption.
Select an authentication method. Choices are Shared and Open.
Refer to Section 3.2.3.1.2 on page 35
Enter a passphrase of up to 63 case-sensitive printable characters. As you enter
the passphrase, the AG-225H v2 automatically generates four different WEP key
and displays the first in the key field below. Refer to
more information.
At the time of writing, you cannot use passphrase to generate 256-bit WEP keys.
Select a default WEP key to use for data encryption. The key displays in the field
below.
